This is what the NRA is up to this morning....

10. That's what jumped out at me.

That certainly is optimistic... or a disaster, depending on which side you're on I guess, but it's a typical scare tactic by the NRA.

Apparently, NRA members have never watched a confirmation process. They usually begin with queries about abortion and end with pro-life questions. I don't think I've ever heard a SC Justice asked about guns. Since there is no such thing as a "liberal" federal judge, they should skip the obvious and be directly asked about cases that are more likely to be brought before them. How do they feel about corporate monopolies and laws designed to minimize the consumer?

I can easily predict that no Supreme Court in our lifetime will ever approve of banning guns, regardless of how many supposed "liberals" there are on the bench. There may be some nuances if they decide to hear it someday, like if owners can purchase silencers and drum magazines, but never will they adjudicate on an outright ban for gun ownership like the NRA implies.

I know people personally who vote strictly on gun issues, and others on whether a politician is pro-life, but those pols (and the judges they appoint) just spend their terms voiding our rights against corporations and making billionaires out of millionaires.
