Challenge to Connecticut's New Gun Law-violates the rights of disabled people
Challenge to Connecticut's New Gun Law
NEW LONDON, Ct. (CN) - Connecticut's new gun laws, passed in response to the Newtown school massacre, violate the rights of disabled people who want to carry AR-15s, rifles with pistol grips and large-capacity magazines, a man claims in court.
Scott A. Ennis sued Gov. Dannel Malloy in New London Superior Court.

The law also bans the sale of ammunition magazines that carry more than 10 rounds.
Ennis, who has hemophilia A, "a bleeding disorder that has caused him severe joint damage," claims the AR-15 and similar weapons are convenient for people with disabilities.
"The AR-15, due to its ease of handling, low recoil, adjustable features, and customizability, is particularly suited for disabled persons in order to engage in lawful use of firearms, including hunting, recreational and competitive shooting, and personal self-defense," the complaint states.
