If you doubt the law’s capacity to transform almost anything into a farce, look no further than the case of Disabled Americans for Firearms Rights LLC, et al., v. Dannel P. Malloy. It alleges that Connecticut’s new ban on assault weapons discriminates against the disabled, and therefore violates the state’s constitution and state laws.
The lawyer filing the suit even wrote a press release to accompany the suit. “I am proud to represent … Disabled Americans for Firearms Rights in this important case,” Scott Camassar of North Stonington writes. “The new law unconstitutionally discriminates against the physically disabled and we intend to hold the State to the clear requirements of Connecticut constitutional and statutory law.”
