I've heard nothing directly, just that he is a constructionist in the image of Rehnquist. Where does Rehnquist stand.
It is always the construction of the 1st clause of the 2nd amendment that leads to problems. The 2nd clause is clear as a bell.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
I read it as saying, "Because people are the last line in the defense of freedom, the people have an absolute right to own arms."
That's the way it's always been. The Bill of Rights is for the people, by the people.
I believe Rehnquist is on record as pro-2a. (NRA source?)
