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.

She Was Something,
Before inventing the Light Bulb.
Judge Janet Palpetine...
Jesus what a horrid visage...
Any weapon that the govt owns can and should be owned by the people!
After all, one reason the 2nd was written by the people was to allow their defense against a tyrannical govt!
Think about it.
If a tyrannical govt. can tell you what weapons you can use against “their” takeover ... Who’s to stop them and with what?🤨
The 2nd as well as the Constitution was written as a way to limit the governments control and power over the people, Not a control of the people!
And when I say government .. That also includes tyrannical bent Judges too!🤬
Up to and including thermonuclear devices?
Up to and including!🥱
The 2nd isn’t about self-defense, it’s about judges and government like her.
