CAPE CORAL, FL -

A debate over preserving the right to bear arms ended Monday night in the Cape Coral council chambers. The issue was brought forth and defeated last week when it was first presented to city leaders. This time leaders voted against reconsidering the resolution.

Last week, the majority of council felt the issue was more about bashing the current administration and less about defending the Second Amendment.

"Tonight is the night" said Cape Coral Councilmember Rana Erbrick. "We're going to see if public pressure has forced one of the six members who voted no to bring it forward for consideration."

The issue was a resolution reaffirming the city's stance on the Second Amendment. The controversial resolution was introduced during last week's council meeting by its youngest member, Richard Leon.

"I'm more concerned about the American people and the American citizens, and Cape Coral citizens," Leon said

Then the measure was voted down 6 to 2. Monday the vote was 5 to 3.

Councilmember Rick Williams was one member who voted against it last week.

"It's extremely partisan, it's extremely political and it's not something we should be tying up this in ordinate amount of time that we're tying up with right now," Williams said.

But Second Amendment supporters like Matthew Worley had hoped to change the council's mind Monday night.

A federal judge upheld Connecticut's gun control law on Thursday, 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 Gov. Dannel P. 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."

Lawmakers, responding to the shooting massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School that killed 20 children and six educators on Dec. 14, 2012, banned the sale of large-capacity magazines and made more weapons illegal under the state's assault weapons ban.

"While the act burdens the plaintiffs' Second Amendment rights, it is substantially related to the important governmental interest of public safety and crime control," Covello ruled.

Brian Stapleton, the lawyer for a group of Connecticut organizations that support gun rights, pistol permit holders and gun sellers, said he will appeal.

"This is a disappointing decision, but not entirely surprising," he said. "This is a long way from over."

Stapleton said the ruling acknowledges the plaintiff's Second Amendment rights "before it guts them."

"The common-sense measures we enacted last session will make our state safer and I am grateful for the court's seal of approval," the governor said.

Attorney General George Jepsen said the law is "entirely appropriate, sensible and lawful."
