I think you do Sandra Day O’Connor an injustice in believing she wouldn’t have voted in favor of the Second Amendment right to bear arms.

She owns guns and hunts from what I’ve heard.

BUT, as far as other issues go, it’s much better to have Alito than O’Connor.

I said O'Connor very well might've joined the dissent today; I didn't say for sure she would have.

She owns guns and hunts from what I’ve heard.

Plenty of liberal gun-grabbers own guns. ...even the queen grabber DiFi. It means precisely squat. That leftists in positions of political power believe in gun rights for themselves and not the populace at large shouldn't come as a surprise.

I'd rather have Alito than O'Connor sitting on the Court for every issue, including those where the 2A is concerned.

I’m not Sandra Day O’Connor’s biggest fan, but she DID vote right in the last two gun related decisions. Lopez (gun free 1000 ft of a school) on commerce clause grounds, and Pritz (Brady mandates on states) on 10th Amendment grounds. Both were groundbreaking decisions in their own right.
