I think this quote from the ruling in the article invalidates the judge's own ruling.

Quote
"While the act burdens the plaintiffs' Second Amendment rights, it is substantially related to the important governmental interest of public safety and crime control."

How is a burden not an infringement?

It's the same [lack of] logic used to justify Breyer's 'interest balancing inquiry' that he touted in his Heller dissent.

This us similar logic to when Clinton debated the definition of "is"

Blackstone (1753-1765) maintains that "the law holds that it is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer."
