Eleven years later, in 2019, his protege Judge Barrett wrote that blanket ban violated the Second Amendment., involved a man convicted of one count of mail fraud. Rickey Kanter, who ran a company called Dr. Comfort, served his time and wanted his gun rights back. The court majority rejected the idea. But Judge Barrett produced a 37-page dissent tracing the history of the Second Amendment and the history of punishing convicted felons.
In essence, Barrett concluded that historical precedent led to the conclusion that only people convicted of dangerous felonies should lose their right to keep and bear arms. The judge left open the possibility that others convicted of misdemeanor charges — on, for instance, domestic violence — should lose their gun rights for some time.
"In sum, founding-era legislatures categorically disarmed groups whom they judged to be a threat to the public safety,Barrett wrote."But neither the convention proposals nor historical practice supports a legislative power to categorically disarm felons because of their status as felons." Shapiro, of the Cato Institute, weighed in on behalf of the plaintiff, who made orthopedic shoes and inserts that he falsely represented had been approved by Medicare.
"Misrepresenting shoe inserts shouldn't disqualify him from being able to carry a firearm for his own self-defense or Martha Stewart with her obstruction of justice, or someone convicted of insider trading. These are not what the enactors of the Second Amendment or the 14th Amendment had in mind when they understood what kinds of restrictions could be in place on this important right," Shapiro said.
Good, gun control doesn’t work anyway. Right, Chicago?!
Wonder if these dudes support Barrett?
Listen to me people. Watch whatever media outlet you wish. People are killing people. Not the guns. And, any “poll” will tell you that the majority of the use of the guns to kill people are those that do not carry lawfully. It’s criminals doing the killing. We defend ourselves.
Amy C Barrett, No that's Donald Trump's miracle drug was derived from aborted fetus cells? Since Mr President is pro-life He cannot have it both ways flip flop flip flop. Vote Joe Biden🇺🇸✋
Simple solution: Free guns for everybody, but death penalty for any person committing a crime using a gun.
She’s a good ole kkk activist 🤷🏽♂️
Would we expect less of a Trump pick?
'gun control groups' seems to say they are anti-Constitution. Just saying.
Ugh
Of course, she is pre-pro live but once they’re born, who cares. Don’t restrict gun sales, let them go out and get automatic weapons. Might as well let people (kids) be shot so she can protect the second amendment!
President Trump installing yet another judge. Looking forward to the newest Supreme Court Jurist.
“Could”
No handmaidens here.
Yeah because we need looser gun laws
I'm not sure I can conclude anything from her opinion except that she considers a blanket prohibition for felons to have guns to be unconstitutional without considering the crime.
Sigh...

Is Amy Coney Barrett (and her husband and seven children) - Patient Zero? She had COVID-19 “in the summer.” Summer ended 9/21. The Rose Garden event was 9/25. Her family was all exposed to the virus when she had it. Who did they expose at the WH event, and the Senate?
Good. Politicians passing gun laws are doing so while making completely contradictory arguments to ones used to defend the original NFA restrictions in front of SCOTUS in US v Miller.
Can I carry an Abraham’s tank as my gun? What about an RPG?
We have to face it, unless President Biden expands the number of justices on SCOTUS, the US is royally screwed for generations.
to anybody else living on earth, this gun debate is ridiculous. nobody else argues about this, let alone make it their raison d'etre. you shouldn't have guns if you live in a city, and you should have guns if you live in the country. one size can't fit all.
Amy Coney Barrett will be a wonderful Supreme Court justice. USA 🇺🇸
My political stance is simple. Free healthcare. Mandatory abortions. Government subsidized AR-15s. Due to this stance I’m finding it hard to get good representation
Cult of gun.
Good, gun control doesn’t work anyway. Right, Chicago?!
Do you know if you ban guns you'll create a giant black market 3D printed gun war?
wait there are currently gun regulations ?
Why can’t Second Amendment cases be settled by duel?
This judge is an insult to the Catholic Faith.
How can a person be pro-life and pro-killers with killing machines at the same time? It's not logical. It's immoral. It's also unchristian, if you're a Christian. What's the bet she's also anti-life and pro-death (favouring the death penalty and war). RWNJs are inconsistent.
She’s an atrocious human being. She’s like some Frankenstein judge crafted in an evil extremist right wing lab
Can you feel the burn?
You’re not getting my guns.
What gun regulations?
Good
🖕that. No offense to you, NPR.
That’s good so more people can arm themselves. Much better than Chicago or Baltimore where they have very harsh gun laws. Those cities have no problems with guns! Idiots! Plus 0% of gun crimes are carried out by an nra person. Use your brains.
Ammosexuals will be pleased....🤮
Clearly what this nation needs is loosen of firearms restrictions as people are literally getting charged with attempted murder and or capture of state governors...
Where is the NRA? They’ve been quiet.
A corrupt Judge on the Federalist society's payroll.
That could backfire
What?
From what we heard yet, she seems smart. So, hopefully she comes out of the religious indoctrination during her tenure.
She’s not fit to serve! She’s connected to corruption
'Dis the woman who's riding around in a big pink bus like some political hack? 'Dis also the woman who thinks IVF should be criminalised? I would love to hear her thoughts on Trump's aborted fetal tissue Regeneron treatment.
Good.
Republicans America NoSCOTUSVote
You can say this but look at Chicago they have the most gun control laws in the country look how many people die in just Chicago yet again NPR just screaming about nothing
I’d think a constitutionalist would know about 10A. StatesRights
Can't wait for more school shooting! Thanks gop!
We wont be having that
The only things they're interested in conserving is making sure they remain in power and continuing tax cuts for the ultra rich.
I don't understand what is 'conservative' about her right-wing extremism. What, exactly, is she conserving?
Guess it doesn’t bother her that she was nominated by a white racist.
'more conservation' mmmhmm try 'more extreme' or 'farther right'
This guy writes a book on 2A jurisprudence and gets the basic facts wrong? 'We only started banning machine guns from civilian hands in the 1980s,' Winkler said.
If I don’t agree with my Doctor, I need to be able to gun him down.
Congress needs to review laws and close loopholes and then the judicial branch can do its' work.
No reporting on gun control would be complete without talking about the suspected criminal behavior of the NRA (and likely money laundering from Russian disinformation campaign):
“They cling to their guns & religion.”
NPR realizes they need to change Republicans votes, not the Dems who are already voting Biden
So, the counter would be to repeal the 2nd Amendment! repealthesecondamendment
Gun laws are racist
NPR hates civil liberties
Of course, this lady is not right. Period
The portrait of a Christian theocrat, is a bible in one hand and a gun in the other.
Thanks RBG!
She doesn't believe in evidence based facts. She operates from a place of superstition and feelings. Unqualified.
conservative = right wing terrorism
Obviously too conservative for
Guns everywhere for everyone. What could possibly go wrong?
Queen ACB
ugh, more commie propaganda from these judges 🙄🙄🙄
i'm sure i'm just paranoid 🤞, but thats a serious set of glazed-over-lookin' peepers she has. . 😳
And they can all feck off

'...WHEN she's confirmed'
I don't understand how Democrats and left-leaning individuals are concerned about an authoritative takeover of the government while simultaneously trying to limit their own ability to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. Baffles me.
The Right bear arms shall not be infringed. Comprehension is hard for the Left. 😂
She's a constructionist, this means she believes in the constitution as it is written. The constitution clearly states 'the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

I am so sick about this the most. We CANNOT confirm her 💔💔
You mean RADICAL not “conservative”.
Fantastic. I was just thinking that we do not have enough guns in our society. 😳🙄
