On August 3, 2023, Judge Janet Bond Arterton of the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut ruled on whether the recent Connecticut law banning the possession of common semi-automatic rifles and pistols under the appellation of “assault weapons” and of standard capacity magazines which hold more than ten rounds.
Judge Arterton ruled the law is not prohibited by the Second Amendment. She does not see it as an infringement because, she claims, “assault weapons” and magazines over ten rounds are not arms protected by the Second Amendment. Magazines that hold more than ten rounds are referred to as large capacity magazines or “LCM”s by the court. From NAGR v. Lamont:
For the reasons discussed below, the Court denies Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction because they have failed to meet their burden to demonstrate a likelihood of success on their claim that the challenged statutes unconstitutionally burden their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Plaintiffs’ proposed ownership of assault weapons and LCMs is not protected by the Second Amendment because they have not demonstrated that the specific assault weapons and LCMs in the Challenged Statutes are commonly sought out, purchased, and used for self-defense. Although this failure alone would have been fatal to Plaintiffs’ claim, Defendants have submitted persuasive evidence that assault weapons and LCMs are more often sought out for their militaristic characteristics than for self-defense, that these characteristics make the weapons disproportionately dangerous to the public based on their increased capacity for lethality, and that assault weapons and LCMs are more often used in crimes and mass shootings than in self-defense.

All the Marxist Dems need is control of firearms to turn the USA into Cuba. Without gun control they will not succeed.
Think about all the terrible unconstitutional and tyrannical rulings that bitch as made.
Judge Janet Bond Arterton is almost 80 years old and will officially retire in six weeks, on October 15.
She was confirmed in 1995 by a voice vote, which means no Republican Senator thought it was important enough to be on the record voting against her.
Another woman in a position of authority, screwing up America.
Judge Janet Bond Arterton's decision is a classic "work around".
Progressives believe all power should be in the hands of the government.
They actually believed in "science" as long as the scientists were committed Progressives.
Her reasoning is incoherent.
Federal judge stooge bizarrely contends that most firearms can be banned without violating the Second Amendment

Re: They [Progressives] actually believed in “science,” as long as the scientists were committed Progressives.
LOL - thank you for a very clever sentence.
She’ll be overturned as well all the other radical leftist judges who try this crap.
She’ll get overturned.
More proof that:
The only good communist is a dead communist...
It is our duty as citizens to help everyone be as good as possible...
💯100%💯
She looks like a lot of fun.
I’ll do what the left does… I’ll ignore the judge.
The constitution trumps anything one of these assholes “decrees”.
I’d laugh if someone was breaking into her home some night and when she dialed 911 the message was “All lines are busy now. Wait time is approximately 20 minutes”.
SCOTUS has already ruled that common use weapons cannot be banned — by anyone or anything.
This is virtue signaling by an old dried up hag of a bitter TWOT.
Communist
What I would like to see is any lower judge that has a decided case accepted for appeal to a higher court be subpoenaed to appear before that higher court to argue why verbally that their decisions in a given case should not be overturned.(That in addition to plaintif in the case)
Her legal decisions helped turn the New Haven central “Green” (=park) into a drug infested wasteland.
That is what the left calls “greatness”.
Lol.
Disabled Vet Killed After FBI Raid on Tennessee Home
According to an interview with Deschler’s brother and mother, the FBI has been refusing to tell them why the raid was carried out.
“There’s three up front and two on the sides they broke out…they were shooting flash…smoke grenades,” Russell Deschler, the brother of the deceased, said.
“It was a senseless act. You know Teddy was a 100 percent disabled veteran. He had problems. He had severe PTSD. He had depression but he was getting help for it but this was senseless. He didn’t have a weapon on him. He was just trying to get out of the house because it was filled with tear gas,” the brother said.
