Connecticut's assault weapons ban will stay in place -- for now.
A federal judge Thursday denied a preliminary injunction request from a national gun rights group.
The judge ruled that "assault weapons are sub-optimal for self-defense."
The same judge is still considering another injunction request from a different Second Amendment group.
