Case Study: A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit challenging Massachusetts's ban on assault weapons and large-capacity magazines, saying in a ruling... that the weapons fall beyond the reach of the Second Amendment. U.S. District Judge William Young said assault weapons are military firearms and aren't protected by the constitutional right to "bear arms." Regulation of the weapons is a matter of policy, not for the courts, he said. "Other states are equally free to leave them unregulated and available to their law-abiding citizens," Young said.
