HBecwithFn7 296 Posted February 1, 2017 That's kind of what I'm seeing... no DIRECT 2A decisions, but he was criticized just a tad by one conservative blog, for his position on one gun case. I'm no lawyer, hard for me to weigh in... but here's the link, so you can read for yourself: http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2017/01/judge_neil_gorsuch_some_cause_for_concern.html I'm starting to see some counters to the American Thinker article, as follows: From: Heavy.com - Neil Gorsuch, Second Amendment, and 5 Fast Facts you need to know... And this: FACO-PAC,org - A closer look at Neil Gorsuch... I think that as long as the NRA stands by him, I will as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indianajonze 379 Posted February 1, 2017 It's not just the NRA. Everytown gun grabbers put out a statement condemning the pick and demanding fierce opposition. Good enough for me Sent from my Nexus 6P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel 7,148 Posted February 1, 2017 Well, I hope you're right, Indiana and HBec. The Supreme Court is a funny thing though... and sometimes the individual supremes rule in ways people wouldn't have envisioned (Roberts, anyone?). I guess we should all just cross our fingers and hope that he turns out to be a 2A supporter, because I would absolutely envision some 2A cases making it to the Supreme Court over the next few years... quite possibly from our own state. And those rulings will be hugely impactful as they might be on the books for a very long time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimB1 554 Posted February 1, 2017 I think he's a solid pick. Like everyone else, I am not sure how he is on 2nd amendment per se however he has shown himself to be skeptical of government intervention and seems to err on the side of the individual over the state. No matter what he's leaps and bounds better then anyone HRC would have picked. -Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
