Appeals court rules New York, Connecticut gun control laws constitutional

WANG: This is Dan Malloy, Connecticut's governor.

Both of those provisions were upheld Monday by the appeals court and in the earlier decision by Skretny. "But it's pretty straight forward: If your goal is to reduce harm done in mass shootings, I think these laws can contribute to this goal".

However, the Court found that New York's requirement that only seven bullets could be loaded into a 10-round magazine was unconstitutional, thus upholding a previous Court ruling. "They are also disproportionately used to kill law enforcement officers".

The coalition of gun rights groups included the NYS Rifle & Pistol Association, Beikirch Ammunition Corp., William Nojay, and Batavia Marine & Sporting Supply.

The centerpiece of the SAFE Act was a more-stringent ban on assault weapons.

Writing for the judges, Judge Jose Cabranes, according to The New York Times, wrote that the government bans on the multiple round automatic rifles did not violate the US. And if they do, Adam Winkler, a constitutional law professor at UCLA, says they'll have company. They've shown no inclination to take it yet. And a recent ruling in a Michigan case created division within federal appeals courts that could prompt a high court review.

"This is far from over this is going to go to the Supreme Court", Budd said.

A three-judge panel from the Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Monday that the specific guns and parts banned by the laws are directly linked to mass shootings, and should be restricted.

ROBERT WEISBERG: This was clearly a very, very carefully drafted law that was technically precise, detailed enough so that it couldn't be called vague.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and Connecticut Attorney General George Jepsen praised the ruling.

The 2012 shooting was responsible for increased scrutiny of the nation's gun laws and has led to high profile politicians in the Democratic Party championing stricter legislation that would make it hard for people to buy guns without a background check in all scenarios.
