She does not believe in an individual right to bear arms. That by itself is disqualifying, as far as I’m concerned.

Heller clearly defines the 2nd Amendment as referring to an individual vs a collective right. Before the Heller vs DC decision I actually thought that the collective right interpretation might actually win out in a Supreme Court decision. Which would essentially dissolve the 2nd Amendment into a simple truism: The State has the right to arm itself. Which in reality is no right at all but a power. One which is already implicit in Article 2.
And an explicit enumerated power in Article 1.
It’s remarkable how much dissembling surrounds the collective rights interpretation of the Second Amendment.
For example, bizarre claims about the NRA of the past such as claiming that they supported this interpretation until they were taken over by libertarians in the 1970s, ignoring the political situations of the past century – such as the impossible task of defending silencers and sawed-off shotguns from FDR in the 1930s, or the aggressive gun bans of the 1970s that led to a big change in NRA attitude and leadership.
No, instead it’s a toy history and doublespeak that would make Big Brother proud. I have to say that I am glad that these clowns get so little traction politically. Just think what they would mess with next, if they weren’t stopped now?
A Biden Supreme Court will fix that. We have become a country governed by nine dictators, chosen for life because the legislative branch fails to draft and enact clear, meaningful laws.
It doesn’t even matter what the laws say if something comes before SCOTUS.
