2nd Amendment? "Not in this Courtroom"

[Wyobraz]

Lawyers for [url "http://www.nysun.com/related_results.php?term=Michael+Bloomberg"]Mayor Bloomberg[/url] are asking a judge to ban any reference to the Second Amendment during the upcoming trial of a gun shop owner who was sued by the city. While trials are often tightly choreographed, with lawyers routinely instructed to not tell certain facts to a jury, a gag order on a section of the Constitution would be an oddity.
“Apparently Mayor Bloomberg has a problem with both the First and the Second amendments,” [url "http://www.nysun.com/related_results.php?term=Lawrence+Keane"]Lawrence Keane[/url], the general counsel of a firearms industry association, the [url "http://www.nysun.com/related_results.php?term=National+Shooting+Sports+Foundation+Inc."]National Shooting Sports Foundation[/url], said.
The trial, set to begin May 27, involves a [url "http://www.nysun.com/related_results.php?term=Georgia"]Georgia[/url] gun shop, Adventure Outdoors, which the city alleges is responsible for a disproportionate number of the firearms recovered from criminals in [url "http://www.nysun.com/related_results.php?term=New+York+City"]New York City[/url]. The gun store’s owner, [url "http://www.nysun.com/related_results.php?term=Jay+Wallace"]Jay Wallace[/url], says his store abides by Georgia and federal regulations and takes steps to avoid selling firearms to gun traffickers. Mr. Wallace’s store is one of 27 out-of-state gun shops sued by New York City, and the first to go to trial.
City lawyers, in a motion filed Tuesday, asked the judge, [url "http://www.nysun.com/related_results.php?term=Jack+Weinstein"]Jack Weinstein[/url] of [url "http://www.nysun.com/related_results.php?term=U.S.+District+Court"]U.S. District Court[/url] in [url "http://www.nysun.com/related_results.php?term=Brooklyn"]Brooklyn[/url], to preclude the store’s lawyers from arguing that the suit infringed on any Second Amendment rights belonging to the gun store or its customers. In the motion, the lawyer for the city, [url "http://www.nysun.com/related_results.php?term=Eric+Proshansky"]Eric Proshansky[/url], is also seeking a ban on “any references” to the amendment.

We're about to find out if the 2nd amendment even applies to individual rights to own firearms with the Washington D.C. case that is going before the Supreme Court. By the fall there should be a decision, and either way it will be a landmark case.

Let's cross our fingers that the court comes out on the right side! []
