A JUDGE AGAINST GUN RIGHTS
HE SHOULD NEVER GET A VOTE IN
THE US SENATE
2ND AMENDMENT ADVOCATE: Larry Pratt, is the Executive Director of Gun Owners of America.
“The Senate should “bury” President Obama’s judicial nomination and declare it “Dead on Arrival,” Gun Owners of America (GOA) urged the Senate.
The demand came shortly after President Barack Obama announced that his Supreme Court nominee is liberal Judge Merrick Garland.
GOA’s executive director, Erich Pratt, observed:
Despite promises to nominate a consensus candidate, Obama has chosen a radical leftist in Judge Garland. He supported the DC gun ban in 2007, voting to reconsider the Heller case after a three judge panel had ruled against the ban.
Hence, we don’t have to speculate as to how Garland would vote on Heller if confirmed to the Supreme Court. He’s already voted against Heller once before, thereby showing he’d effectively rip the Second Amendment from the Constitution.
In a 2000 case, Garland voted to maintain the registration of gun owners, supporting efforts by the Clinton administration to use the instant check to illegally retain gun owners’ names for six months.
This shows that Garland is not only anti-gun, he supports the ability of a President to illegally use executive power to advance liberal causes.
He also pointed to the crucial gun-rights decision in McDonald v. Chicago (2010), warning that McDonald is in danger of being reversed along with Heller if the Senate buckles and decides to confirm Garland as the replacement for late Justice Antonin Scalia.”
