New York state’s ban on personal ownership of stun guns is unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled Friday in the latest in a series of court decisions that have led to the loosening of restrictions on the weapons in several states.
The decision came in a lawsuit filed by Matthew Avitabile, of Schoharie County, New York, who said he wanted to buy a stun gun for self-defense in his rural upstate home.
His lawyers argued that New York’s longstanding ban on civilian ownership of stun guns violated the Second Amendment right to bear arms. U.S. District Judge David Hurd agreed.
“New York’s sweeping prohibition on the possession and use of tasers and stun guns by all citizens for all purposes, even for self-defense in one’s own home, must be declared unconstitutional,” Hurd wrote in his decision. …

A federal judge respecting the Second Amendment. President Trump should consider promoting this guy.
Now if this were democrats, they make this out to be a nationwide ruling.
Lets try that.
Just fainted.
I carry a stun gun all the time when I go hiking. Why? Because of people who let their dogs run ahead of them on the trail. The dog thinks his job is to clear that trail and you stand a very good chance of a dog attack. A stun gun works great because the electrical crackle backs the dog off. I’ve NEVER actually had to stun a dog, I’ve had 100% success in backing them off by just hearing it. I’ve actually had more problems with owners thinking I’m attempting to do something terrible to their pet and they give me the ole, “He’s a nice dog, he wasn’t doing anything.” BS, I know when a dog is greeting you nicely and when he’s viewing you as a chew toy.
The sound does make dogs back off. I carry a walking stick and a stun gun when I walk. Just in case.
My sister walks her dogs everyday on a leash, other people have their dogs there on a leash. That’s how it should be. The electrical shock (tase) shouldn’t be necessary but be damned if I want a dog biting me. People need to be responsible for their pets behavior. I carry a 9mm but I don’t want to use it.
Test it out - just the sound of the taser - with a dog in the room and watch his reaction.
Ping
Perhaps it generates a high frequency sound that only dogs can hear.
Finally a judge that understands that “arms” means more than guns. In the time of the founding fathers “arms” were basically anything a citizen required to effectively defend themselves or their country if so required. In the founders day that would have been guns, but it also would have included swords, bayonets, knives, even cannons (if you could afford one). Today that would include all of the above, plus things like body armor, night vision equipment, perhaps even grenades.
And the guy was appointed by Bill Clinton.
Exactly the statement I was greeted with by an owner whose dog attacked me. They blamed me for kicking the dog's @$$, while they could see the bite marks on my wrist.

Now they need to go after the Safe Act.
One brick at a time.
>>and lawsuits
Anti-2A types get really confused and agitated when I explain to them that Letters of Marque and Reprisal, which are in the Constitution, imply that private citizens might actually own cannons and ships well-armed enough to be considered warships.
I botched a cut-n-paste, meant to quote your “and cannons” line.
