Justice Barrett Will Declare Open Season on Gun Control Laws

Phony fears about Democrats are already leading to a pre-election spike in gun sales. And now the Supreme Court is poised to strike down the insufficient gun laws we already have.

Barrett is an originalist who believes the Constitution must be interpreted exactly as the Founders intended. “Her views and how she thinks about the Second Amendment are not grounded in modern day reality,” Parsons told the Daily Beast.

“She doesn’t give any attention to the cause of modern-day gun violence. Looking at the intent of the framers when there were no assault weapons is very inappropriate in an age of mass shootings.”

Sounds like Eleanor escaped from her room at the old folks home again, and is wandering around the halls spouting gibberish...

So is the cause of ‘gun violence’ guns, or the people using them on other people? But we really, really don’t want to have a conversation about that, do we, Eleanor?

Allow me to rephrase the headline. "Barret will apply the constitution in gun cases".

Went to a local store, and the parking lot was full. One worker and one other customer inside. I made a comment as I left, and the employee said they were all next door at the gun store stocking up.

Leftists like Clift want to “save America” by ignoring the Constitution.

“Gun Control Laws”

IOW, laws thwarting the self-evident, inalienable right to self-defense.

To listen to some people on the left, Amy Coney Barrett is a vicious monster. She’s going to the court eager to overturn laws and precedents of other Supreme Court cases, all to turn back the clock not just to 1776, but back to the Middle Ages.

To listen to these people, she is on a crusade to overturn 200 plus years of societal change. And the cherry on top, is that she is Trump’s secret agent, to automatically rule for Trump in cases which might arise from the election.

These leftists are irrational about all of this.

In the founders’ day, muskets WERE the preeminent “assault weapon”.

Eleanor apparently ran out of lithium again.
