The left has attacked Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett for her faith, her race, and her gender but the fact remains: democrats don’t have the numbers to block her confirmation. That doesn’t mean they ain’t going to try so now they are freaking the hell out because she has admitted to owning a gun. Yeah, the left is so nuts that they think smearing a potential Supreme Court Justice for exercising her Constitutional rights disqualifies her from ruling on Constitutional rights.
On day two of ACB’s confirmation hearings, she acknowledged her family owns a gun, as reported by Fox News:
Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett admitted during the second day of her confirmation hearing that her family owns a gun — but maintained that it would not hamper her ability to fairly decide a case on the Second Amendment.
“When it comes to your personal views about this topic, do you own a gun?” Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham asked Barrett at the start of the hearing.
“We do own a gun,” she said.
Pressed by Graham whether she believed she could “fairly decide a case even though you own a gun,” Barrett responded: “Yes.”
OMG!!! ACB owns a gun. The left completely lost their minds over this uncontroversial thing. Here’s anti-gun fake combat vet Richard Blumenthal being a total jackass:
…Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., accused Barrett of having “radical” and “activist” views on the Second Amendment…
“If your views on the Second Amendment are adopted by the Supreme Court, it would imperil common-sense state laws like Connecticut’s all around the country,” said Blumenthal.
That’s less of an attack on ACB and more of an admission by Blumenthal that Connecticut’s gun laws are unconstitutional. It still qualifies as a freak-out over someone exercising their rights however.
Next we have CNN sounding the alarm:
Barrett’s confirmation could lead to the Supreme Court taking rare action on gun rights
The Supreme Court has gone a decade without acting on a major case concerning the Second Amendment, an issue that could receive rare attention in the future by the high court should Judge Amy Coney Barrett be confirmed to the bench in the coming weeks.
…Barrett has the backing of the National Rifle Association, the nation’s largest gun rights organization.
And?
It turns out that Amy Coney Barrett also has a mouth and could possibly rule on a 1st Amendment free speech case. She is also a person who owns a house and has papers and effects and could someday make a ruling on a 4th Amendment case on the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects. It seems like someone who doesn’t own a gun has no right ruling on the 2nd Amendment, not the other way around.
NPR is also very concerned with ACB’s pro-rights Constitutional originalism:
Gun Control Groups Voice ‘Grave Concerns’ About Supreme Court Nominee’s Record
President Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court says she shares the outlook of her mentor, the late Justice Antonin Scalia.
That’s got gun control advocates warning that big changes could be on the way if Barrett gets confirmed.
…if Barrett wins Senate confirmation, the court’s approach to the Second Amendment could be in for a big shift.
How does being anti-gun make someone an expert? There is no answer to that, but here’s Brady Campaign stooge Kris Brown (not the one who punched Rihanna):
“There’s a whole host of public safety bills and laws that we’ve had in effect for a quarter century, including the Brady background check system, that we are concerned about with her on the court,” said Brown.
They’re concerned because those gun control laws are unconstitutional and a 6-3 conservative SCOTUS will finally get around to ruling on that.
And finally, there is this tweet from White House correspondent Debra J. Saunders:
ACB owns a gun.

So what?
Here’s a fun fact: democratic Senators Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris, who are on the Senate Judiciary Committee, own guns. Clearly owning a gun doesn’t turn a person into a pro-gun extremist since both of these crazy broads want to ban firearms.
If Amy Coney Barrett had a late-term abortion or believed the government can force people to buy a product form a private company the democrats would applaud her nomination. Because she exercises the Constitutionally guaranteed right to keep and bear arms however, they say she is unqualified to rule on Constitutional issues.
This is perfect example of why ACB should be confirmed and how democrats should never ever get another nominee for the Supreme Court.
