Federal Judge Upholds Connecticut Gun Law
This morning U.S. Circuit Judge José A. Cabranes upheld Connecticut's gun law, ruling that
the state had established a compelling state interest in controlling crime.
"Judge Cabranes ruling is a win for public safety, and reflects the care and balance in the
legislation," said Rep Patricia Dillon.
“New York and Connecticut have adequately established a substantial relationship between
the prohibition of both semiautomatic assault weapons and large capacity magazines and
the important – indeed compelling – state interest in controlling crime,” Judge Cabranes
wrote in the decision published Monday, ruling that the post-Newtown gun laws enacted in
both states do not violate the Second Amendment right to individual gun ownership.
Rep. Dillon said, “Judge Cabranes' ruling is a win for public safety.”
