File-This May 4, 2011, shows Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy speaking after signing a two-year $40.1 billion budget bill into law at the Capitol in Hartford, Conn. A federal judge upheld Connecticut's gun control law on Thursday, Jan. 30, 2014, saying the sweeping measure is constitutional even as he acknowledged the Second Amendment rights of gun owners who sued to block it. The law, which Malloy signed last April after months of negotiations in the legislature, was not entirely written "with the utmost clarity," U.S. District Judge Alfred Covello said in his 47-page decision. Still, several provisions are "not impermissibly vague in all of their applications and, therefore, the challenged portions of the legislation are not unconstitutionally vague."
