>>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.

In almost every case, committing a felony was a choice that victimized someone who did not have a choice.. They own the consequences.

Only liberal decisions are precedent. If one of thsoe overrides the norm of 200+ years, that isn’t a violation of stare decisis, but if a conservative (honest) court dares void THAT decision after a decade or three, well, then THEY’RE agenda-driven judicial activists. Got it?

Where is my assault weapon so I can just shoot myself now? Oh, was that insensitive?

Insufficient data. Is your "assault weapon" black? Liberals seem to find black very frightening.

“She’s an idiot and was long before being elected. But the AZ GOP-E preferred her election to a conservative republican!”

You got that right. They refused to support Randy Graf. I remember hateful feminist freepers here at the time saying they were voting for Giffords. I lived in her district back then. She was ghastly, but beloved by drooling leftist media.

Here are some excerpts from Kavanaugh’s opinion in a case. There’s more behind the link.

Heller v. D.C. - Appeals (2010-2011, not the 2008 case)
https://www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opinions.nsf/DECA496973477C748525791F004D84F9/%24file/10-7036-1333156.pdf#page=46

[Excerpts:]

“KAVANAUGH, Circuit Judge, dissenting:...
[...]
In my judgment, both D.C.’s ban on semi-automatic rifles and its gun registration requirement are unconstitutional under Heller.

In Heller, the Supreme Court held that handguns – the vast majority of which today are semi-automatic – are constitutionally protected because they have not traditionally been banned and are in common use by law-abiding citizens. There is no meaningful or persuasive constitutional distinction between semi-automatic handguns and semi-automatic rifles. Semi-automatic rifles, like semi-automatic handguns, have not traditionally been banned and are in common use by law-abiding citizens for self-defense in the home, hunting, and other lawful uses. Moreover, semi-automatic handguns are used in connection with violent crimes far more than semi-automatic rifles are. It followsfrom Heller’s protection of semi-automatic handguns that semi-automatic rifles are also constitutionally protected and that D.C.’s ban on them is unconstitutional.
[...]
In my view, Heller and McDonald leave little doubt that courts are to assess gun bans and regulations based on text, history, and tradition, not by a balancing test such as strict or intermediate scrutiny.”

“Her husband just loves to post on her twitter account.”

Wonder if he is the phantom twitter poster for McAinal’s Weekend at Bernies.

Big money for these two opposing our 2 nd Amendment.

Who/what is paying for their Tweets?

How naive you are. It is well known the average individual commits 3 felonies per day unknowingly. The Second Amendment protects the right of individuals to keep and bear arms, not the right of the state to restrict individuals from keeping and bearing arms. So said the 5th Circuit Court recently!!
