US appeals court upholds gun laws after [fake] Newtown massacre

The Decision.

October 19, 2015

First, they challenge the constitutionality of the statutes
15 under the Second Amendment; and second, they challenge certain
16 provisions of the statutes as unconstitutionally vague



We hold that the core provisions of the New York and
21 Connecticut laws prohibiting possession of semiautomatic assault
22 weapons and large‐capacity magazines do not violate the Second
23 Amendment, and that the challenged individual provisions are not
24 void for vagueness.



we
29 AFFIRM in part the judgment of the District Court for the District of
30 Connecticut insofar as it upheld the prohibition of semiautomatic
31 assault weapons and large‐capacity magazines,

This 1 statutory definition encompasses, and thereby bans, the
2 semiautomatic weapon used by the mass‐shooter at Sandy Hook.
3 New York law makes the possession, manufacture, transport, or
4 disposal of an “assault weapon” a felony.9

Well those judges can rest easy...if they own gun.

If not, then I guess they're at risk like the rest of us!
