It will probably be challenged.
I find that interesting because they're so fond of calling us racist for being pro-gun, pro-self defense, and anti-amnesty. I think new england needs some color. They aren't eating the garbage they're serving.
If I lived in connecticut, I would fight to turn my state into a mecca for brown and black. And then, once it was, I would move far away.
Watch gun crime go up now.
The new law is clearly unconstitutional. The court’s ruling is not only wrong but also illegitimate. Still, the law and the ruling will make life harder for decent people in that state.
Take it to the USSC.
I waited nine months for this piece of sh*t ruling!? Is there any logic left in the judiciary?
Commie judge rules Unconstitutional law to be constitutional.
Wow.
Surprised? Not me.
I am sure that Colt, Ruger, Mossberg, Marlin and other firearm companies in Connecticut will be very interested.
BREAKING: Federal Court Says Connecticut’s Gun Ban is Legal

In a blow to gun rights everywhere, a federal judge has ruled that Connecticut’s ban on “assault weapons” (yes, that is an actual, legal term in the state of Connecticut now) is completely constitutional.
The court case was brought by a large group of gun manufacturers, retailers, gun rights groups and individual gun owners.
According to The Courant,
“The court concludes that the legislation is constitutional,” senior U.S. District Judge Alfred V. Covello wrote in a decision published late Thursday. “While the act burdens the plaintiffs’ Second Amendment rights, it is substantially related to the important governmental interest of public safety and crime control.”
The legislature enacted comprehensive restrictions on ownership of semiautomatic weapons and ammunition early last year in the emotionally charged weeks following the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown. Troubled gunman Adam Lanza killed 20 first-grade students and six women with a now-banned AR-15 Bushmaster assault rifle his mother bought…
…”Obviously, the court cannot foretell how successful the legislation will be in preventing crime,” Covello wrote. “Nevertheless, for the purposes of the court’s inquiry here, Connecticut, in passing the legislation, has drawn reasonable inferences from substantial evidence.”
The plaintiffs are expected to appeal the decision.
U.S. District Judge Alfred V. Covello is 81 years old and was appointed by President George HW Bush (aka Bush Sr.) back in 1992.

Connecticut has turned into a welfare state. Sad to see. Time to get the h*ll out of here.
Take it to SCOTUS if necessary.
The more they tell me I don’t need 30 round magazines, the more I know I do need them.
Bastards!
