Battle over the 2nd Amendment Right to . . . Kill Judges?


From the Reno Gazette Journal:

Darren Mack plead[] guilty by reason of insanity to killing his estranged wife, Charla, and shooting their divorce judge, Chuck Weller, on June 12, 2006. In mid-trial in November, he entered guilty pleas. He later fired his lawyers, and he now is seeking a new trial.

Part of the basis for seeking a new trial: the 2nd Amendment Right to bear arms includes the right for citizens to shoot their family court judge:

Darren Mack's former lawyer David Chesnoff testified Wednesday that Mack suffered from "a form of insanity" and believed that the Second Amendment to the
U.S. Constitution gave him the right to shoot a judge. Although Mack objected to his former lawyers pursuing an insanity defense, Mack's position about his rights made it their only option, Chesnoff said. "It's delusional to shoot family court judges who you don't like," Chesnoff said.
