Burdens the plaintiffs’ Second Amendment rights = shall not be infringed.

Abortion at any time for any reason is Constitutionally protected and cannot be touched...

I love how these Federal Judges keeping finding that my rights are subjected to the whims of Police power. Funny, I didn’t see anything in the Constitution that says “This right void where prohibited”

Not a single criminal was burdened by that unconstitutional law.

Only law=abiding citizens had their rights violated.

I guess that we're all criminals now, in the eyes of the corrupt federal government.

By “Federal judge” they mean a Bill of Rights-hating, leftwing commie lib activist, right?

"While the act burdens the plaintiffs' Second Amendment rights, it is substantially related to the important governmental interest of public safety and crime control."

Uh, which Amendment is that? Is that found next to the "right" to abortion in the Constitution?

And like sheep, most Americans will dutifully comply with the Beast.

I now understand how and why it was that Jews in Europe surrendered everything without a fight and then dutifully lined up for death camps and mass graves.

We're living a repeat - even though we're armed, we line up in order to be systematically disarmed while the police are militarized and the government and media declares Conservatives to be a threat to security and the state.

We had a federal assault weapons ban for 10 years that basically did nothing to reduce crime. So how does the judge explain that?

"While the act burdens the plaintiffs' Second Amendment rights . . ."

How can such legislation possibly be constitutional?! Not only infringe upon, but to "burden"?

The judge “canceled oral arguments” for 30 January 2014. Did not rule.

Gun control advocates were buoyed Thursday by a federal court decision in Hartford that upholds Connecticut's toughest-in-the-nation assault weapons ban, calling it a constitutionally valid means of balancing gun rights and the government's interest in reducing gun violence.

Never mind that the empirical evidence is fewer guns, more crime.
