Connecticut – -(Ammoland.com)- Scott Ennis of New London, Connecticut, and his group Disabled Americans for Firearms Rights, will be filing an action for declaratory judgment against Gov. Malloy challenging parts of the newly enacted gun law.

Says Scott Camassar, Attorney for Disabled Americans for Firearms Rights, “I am proud to represent Scott Ennis and Disabled Americans for Firearms Rights in this important case.”

We share in the goal of making society safer from mass shootings and keeping guns out of the hands of the violently insane.

But Connecticut’s new law places too little emphasis on school safety and mental health improvements, while placing far too many burdens of law-abiding gun owners, particularly disabled persons, with no real prospect for keeping guns away from criminals and those who are a threat to themselves and others.

Disabled individuals have unique needs when it comes to lawful use of firearms, whether it be recreational or competitive shooting, hunting, home defense, or personal self-defense, and they rely on safe, customizable firearms like the AR-15 in order to effectively participate in these lawful activities.

Cosmetic features like forward grips and adjustable stocks do not make a rifle more lethal, nor do factory-standard magazines that hold more than 10 bullets.

Disabled citizens of Connecticut should not be precluded from using firearms lawfully because of the Governor’s desire to enact “the toughest gun laws” in the nation; the Governor needs to accommodate the disabled.

The new law unconstitutionally discriminates against the physically disabled and we intend to hold the State to the clear requirements of Connecticut constitutional and statutory law.
