Judge declares state's gun law unconstitutional (Minnesota)

---a Ramsey County District judge---

He's a little out of his pay grade isn't he? Is he going to declare all the rest of the laws that have been passed as part of other bills unconstitutional?

That sounds like the story out of NY State yesterday, where a town judge in the hamlet of New Paltz declared that the state law banning same-sex marriage -- which New Paltz Mayor Jason West had violated about two dozen times in March -- was "unconstitutional" (whereby I'm not sure if the judge ws ruling based on the U.S., NYS, Canadian or New Paltz Constitution). That town judgeship is probably, like the mayoralty, a part-time job.
