Where Barrett stands on 2A.

If there is a better area for this post, great.
Sounds about as hopeful as one could wish for.

'Past cases show Trump’s Supreme Court nominee has sided with non-violent felons’ right to bear arms, and against police unwarranted police searches of lawful carriers'

Thanks for sharing. I started to read the comments, then realized as much fun as that might be, I'd rather go outside and play.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

The LefTistS REFUSE to meet with her pre-vote, ask questions. Questions like, ''have you changed your positions in the last couple years, when you were confirmed to your current judgeship, your judgeship?''

Just attempting to derail the nominee. While not wanting to meet they simultaneously want to debate the whole thing, like, you know, like....20 years.

Spoken louder then words, those action things.

And that's good enough for me.
Acquisitions thus far:

-Slingshot
-Butter knife
-Soda straw and peas
-Sharpened pencil
-Newspaper roll
--water balloon (*diversionary*)

Yeah, I'm that good

Sen Blumenthal seemed to score on Barrett yesterday discussing Kanter (felons and possession/RKBA)

Of course he was saying she spoke of this as being "radical" in her dissent, but the remark was made in a speech to a college audience:
We did look it up, and Blumenthal was wrong.

Nowhere in the entire text of Kanter does the word “radical” appear. (Blumenthal clearly had not read the case.)

The source for Blumenthal’s quote appears to be a BBC article about Barrett’s views:

Speaking about her dissent to students at Hillsdale College last year, Judge Barrett said while it “sounds kind of radical to say felons can have firearms”, she found no “blanket authority” to take guns away from Americans without showing the individual was a danger.

Viewed in context, where Barrett was explaining a concept to students, Barrett was arguing that while it “sounds” radical to say that “felons” should be able to own firearms, a legal analysis would show that it was not radical to separate non-violent felons from violent felons.
The fiction of Prohibited Persons regarding inalienable rights needs to be struck down...whether or not Barrett is the one to lead that charge is yet to be determined, but I'm not holding my breath.

Why don't Senators ask fundamental questions regarding granting cert or the proper role of the judiciary. I've been heartened to hear that political will and the task of SCOTUS are not related at all. However, does Barrett believe judges can be recalled? What basis would be appropriate for that? Granting Cert is one of the more important decisions of the justice...how would she weigh granting cert?
