Arms and the Law

Story here. He upheld the ban on magazines holding more than ten rounds, but struck down the provision banning putting more than seven rounds in one of them.

UPDATE: Here's the decision itself. The judge strikes the seven round limit, because it is impossible to believe that a bad guy with a ten round mag will obey the law and only load seven rounds, so the law bears no relationship to the government's interest. He also strikes the definition of assault rifle that includes a firearm with a "muzzle break" on the grounds that it is meaningless, and he is unwilling to hold that a law can be applied by correcting a mis-spelling. (That error gives us an idea of how carefully the legislature considered what it was enacting).

After nearly a year: 1,146 felony charges, which were previously misdemeanors, 59 arrests for possession of a magazine holding more than ten rounds, or of a ten round magazine with more than seven cartridges in it.

In the meantime, NYC has cut its police force by 17%, I assume to reduce its budget.
