Middleburgh Mayor Matthew Avitabile has filed a lawsuit in United states District Court arguing that he has the right to carry a taser. If he wins-and Schoharie County Attorney Mike West is doubtful he will-Mr. Avitabile said it doesn't mean he'll start carrying a taser on the streets of Middleburgh. But it doesn't mean he won't be carrying one either. |

| West is wrong. The Second Amendment protects a right to bear "arms", not just firearms. I believe that MA and CT have already settled this question in their state courts. |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
