So the question is : How does he view the Amendments. Does he thing the 2nd Amendment guarantees citizens the right to own a gun and carry that gun on their person? Don't you think we should find out before we call his a "conservative"?

Again, I don't particularly care about his personal political views, so long as he is a strict constructionist. Just because most strict constructionists are conservatives does not mean the two are synonymous. Likewise with judicial activists and liberals.

As far as the Second Amendment, a strict constructionist would look at the plain writing and take the conservative position. A judicial activist would not.

a strict constructionist would look at the plain writing and take the conservative position.

I agree and that's why I ask "what is his view on the plain writing of the Constitution in regards to the 2nd Amendment? And the 1st?". I want to know that in order to determine whether he really is a conservative nominee vs a liberal one.
