The gun in the trunk of the car was a Saiga shotgun. The shooter used either a Bushmaster AR-15 or a Bushmaster M4gery. The OP is correct -- Connecticut has a state AWB in force, and has had it since before the expiration of the Federal AWB in 2004. The police have already confirmed that the weapons were stolen from the mother, who bought and owned them legally. That makes the math easy.
Assault weapons = illegal
Weapons used = legal
Legal =/= illegal
Ergo (can't do the math symbol for that in plain text): Weapons used =/= assault weapons.
