Antigunners worried about Trump's court appointments

Post by rickt »

ACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California has some of the toughest gun laws in the nation, including a ban on the type of high-capacity ammunition magazines used in some of the nation’s deadliest mass shootings.

How long those types of laws will stand is a growing concern among gun control advocates in California and elsewhere.

A federal judiciary that is becoming increasingly conservative under President Donald Trump and the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate has gun control advocates on edge. They worry that federal courts, especially if Trump wins a second term next year and Republicans hold the Senate, will take such an expansive view of Second Amendment rights that they might overturn strict gun control laws enacted in Democratic-leaning states.

Yeah, verily, as Trump publicly shivs RKBA, we are reminded that judges matter, and that somehow the dude who is slapping us in the face will appoint jurists who will uphold our Liberties.

Trump applauds, and relies on your loyalty.

BTW, Epstein was totally suicidal and Hillary is a free woman because she hasn't done anything criminal. Also, we are a Free and Brave society which is self-governed. State schools are the best thing for your family, kids and society. Men and women aren't different....

I saw that story printed in yesterday's Columbus Dispatch. Sad that it was given space.
