Judge for Yourself

How can you tell if
Barbara Bellis is lying?

Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis said that a 2005 federal law protecting gun-makers from lawsuits does not prevent lawyers for the victims' families from arguing that the semi-automatic rifle is a military weapon and should not have been sold to civilians. [More]

They can argue all they want.  Someone else shouldn't be forced to listen. Or put at risk to pay for someone else's evil.

This is the kind of crap ruling that ought to get a judge removed, but that presents a dilemma for CT Democrats in power  -- see, Bellis was appointed by a Republican, albeit a twice-convicted felon/prohibited person Republican who betrayed his NRA endorsement (surprise!) to push for "ballistic fingerprinting" with Richard Blumenthal). So even though the Dems might prefer one of their own behind the bench, why change out a reliable player with insider access to the other camp?

Until such time as it is understood that "in common use at the time" refers to true military grade weaponry, and that any "official" deviation from that interpretation will not be tolerated, subversives like Bellis will continue to undermine liberty.

UPDATE: Standing Liberty advises "Bellis has been featured guest at Plaintiff's law firm."

It's a big club and you ain't in it.
