Hawaiʻi Attorney General Clare E. Connors has joined an 18-state coalition defending Vermont in its effort to ban large-capacity magazines. Supporters of the legislation say it is designed to prevent gun violence and protect public safety.
In a friend-of-the-court brief Connors and her counterparts argue that states have the right to enact reasonable firearm restrictions that reduce the number of deaths and injuries caused by gun violence. |

| You mean the AG in a state in the U.S. 9th Circuit, which just ruled that such magazine bans are unconstitutional? THAT AG? ... Oh. |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
