the fingers in ears approach
Lawyers for Mayor Bloomberg are asking a judge to ban any reference to the Second Amendment during the upcoming trial of a gun shop owner who was sued by the city.
I wonder why. And:
“Apparently Mayor Bloomberg has a problem with both the First and the Second amendments,” Lawrence Keane, the general counsel of a firearms industry association, the National Shooting Sports Foundation, said.

Well, in their defense, it isn’t uncommon to have a motion in limine (legal way of saying, “don’t blurt this out in court”) regarding things that have already been ruled on by the judge. If they judge has already thrown out the 2nd Amendment defense, then you can expect him to limine it out in trial.
