Connecticut judge declares 'No one should have guns'

A Superior Court judge in Bristol "expressed his contempt for the right to keep and bear arms' in a closed door meeting in his chambers, the state gun rights group Connecticut Carry reported last Thursday in a media advisory. Judge Robert C. Brunetti "exposed his bigotry for fundamental civil rights in front of at least three defense attorneys," the group explained.

"No one in this country should have guns," the judge reportedly stated, adding "I never return guns."

"A judge's role is to be impartial and to render verdicts, rulings and judgments based upon law and case law, certainly not personal opinion," the press release continued. "Judge Brunetti has clearly decided to lead an anti-rights crusade under color of his judicial position and it must end."

Media outlets claimed lack of personnel to provide coverage in the case of Connecticut v. Bruce Worley, the press statement advised, advocating "The citizens of Connecticut have a right to know about Judge Brunetti."

He is, in fact, the second judge to come out recently with blatantly anti-gun sentiments. In July, the group reported on Judge Edward Mullarkey , who "proclaimed from the bench that those who support the Second Amendment should be 'ashamed.'"

"How many more judges in Connecticut are abusing their authority like this when these judges are so willing to openly flaunt their bigotry?" the release asked. "There is no place in Connecticut for a judge who will so willingly contradict The Supreme Court's ruling on such an important civil right."
