Can Kagan be turned on the Second Amendment? Could she become a positive vote?

Sure, if you accept that the 2nd Amendment is about hunting...

I hope so, I pray so...

...But I doubt it.

I would be shocked if Kagan would vote to affirm Second Amendment rights.

Besides, the issue now is not if the Second Amendment is an individual right (that is settled law) but what restrictions are "reasonable" on the Second Amendment.

In the end, an elitist, like Kagan, will see most restrictions as "reasonable".

But this is why you must love Scalia for taking her to the range!!!!

A long shot (pardon the pun), but not impossible. I saw a German exchange student once go from frothing-at-the-mouth gun opponent to wild-eyed gun nut (said he would join the German army when he got home just to be able to shoot again) after one afternoon at the range. Simply put, he had previously never held or used a gun in his life, and then one day he did, and it radically changed his mind. Very sly move on Scalia’s part...

Kagan has no more business being on the Supreme Court than Obama has being in the White House.

Don’t be fooled by this puff piece, she is liberal to the bone, and that means she is anti-gun.

"You're Jewish," deadpanned Rabbi Mitchell Wohlberg.

???

History has shown few things as clearly as the positive aspects of Jews being armed, trained in the use of arms and having a willingness to use arms in their own defense.

Who the heck is this Rabbi, especially if he doesn't know that.

If Kagan were to vanish they could replace her with Patten Oswalt and no one would notice.

heh

I will never listen, consider, or obey anything this lunatic bull dyke has to say.

I like Scalia’s approach here.

She admitted never having owned or fired a gun before. "But I told the senator if I was fortunate enough to be confirmed, I would go hunting with Justice Scalia."

Let's hope Justice Scalia invites Dick Cheney too

She should not be on the court in the first place.
