Gabby Giffords: Brett Kavanaugh’s Dangerous Views on the Second Amendment
The Truth About Guns ^ | 07/10/18 | Dan Zimmerman

Posted on 07/10/2018 8:25:08 AM PDT by Simon Green

“In nominating Judge Kavanaugh to be the next Supreme Court justice, the Trump Administration is once again showing brazen disregard for the people it claims to protect. Judge Kavanaugh’s dangerous views on the Second Amendment are far outside the mainstream of even conservative thought and stand in direct opposition to the values and priorities of the vast majority of Americans. America needs a Supreme Court justice who respects the Second Amendment but who also realizes reasonable regulations that reduce gun violence do not infringe on anyone’s constitutional rights. But that’s not the kind of justice President Trump nominated today.” – Gabby Giffords’ statement on the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court

20,000 “reasonable regulations” aren’t enough already?

In 227 years since the ratification of the 2nd Amendment, there has never been a ban on all semiautomatic rifles in the United States, and only for 10 of those 227 years has their existed an ‘assualt weapons ban’ at the federal level.

Please, lady, tell me more about how Kavanaugh is an extremist for basing his opinion around longstanding legal tradition...

Taking away my Constitutional rights will not make the world safer.

Just thinking about it makes me angry. Granted, I am not sure how much input the USN was allowed to have (and I do recognize they are now deeply steeped in all things PC) but even still...I find it deeply humiliating as a son of a career Naval Officer and a sailor myself.

Just embarrassing.

What did the Pre-Civil War jurists think of the 2nd Amendment? Scroll down...

No Gabby. The dangerous views on the 2nd Amendment are yours.

I’d like to see this brought to the court and repealed first https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/922

....then start chipping away at the 1968 GCA and eventually Miller vs US

This is the @$$#013 astronaut Mark Kelly shooting off his mouth again, obviously.

Ditto Israel.

WOW, her statement is nonsensical.

I didn’t like the choice last night, but I like even less that I’m on the side of Gabby Giffords. Please. Where is my assault weapon so I can just shoot myself now? Oh, was that insensitive?

That, and her astronaut husband (a Navy O6, btw) wasted no time in violating his Oath to the Constitution and pimping himself out to the pro-tyranny crowd.

A pox on both of them.

Natural Rights are inherent to us, regardless of Constitutional language.

The Constitution grants no rights - it guarantees them from gov’t abrogation.

Gabby should take up salmon
fishing in Alaska, without
a hand gun powerful enough
to overtake a grizzly’s
natural defenses. She needs
a big ‘ol bear hug.

The law against all felons owning a gun must be overturned. The non-violent felon, in the very least, should be able to own a gun.
