Filibuster The Anti-Gun Kagan Nomination
Virginia –-(AmmoLand.com)- President Barack Obama is about to appoint the most anti-gun Supreme Court Justice ever to sit on the bench.
That is why I need you to take immediate action.
You see, Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Elena Kagan, is violently opposed to your Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
Going back to her time as a Supreme Court clerk in 1987, Kagan supported gun licensing and registration.
As a lawyer in the gun grabbing Clinton Administration, Kagan personally drafted an executive order for Bill Clinton that would ban the importation of semi-automatic firearms.
During her recent confirmation hearings as Solicitor General, Kagan dismissed the notion that the Second Amendment deserved “unlimited protection against governmental regulation.”
The appointment of Kagan could reverse the recent gains we’ve worked hard to achieve to protect our Second Amendment rights.
The appointment of Kagan could jeopardize our most recent victory at the Court, D.C. v. Heller, where the Court properly held the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is an individual right.
Remember, D.C. v. Heller was a 5-4 victory.
If we have more appointees like President Obama’s first nominee, Sonia Sotomayor, any ground we have gained in protecting our Second Amendment rights will be lost — maybe FOREVER.
If Kagan is confirmed, she could be that critical liberal vote for the anti-gun lobby and their allies.
That is why I need you to act now. There is no time to wait and see.
Cases involving the Second Amendment and an individual’s Right to Keep and Bear Arms are making their way through the appellate process and will be coming to the Supreme Court.
That is why I need you to call Senators Webb and Warner and urge them to filibuster the Kagan nomination.
Call Senator Warner at 202 224 2023 and Senator Webb at 202 224 4024 and urge them to filibuster the Kagan nomination.
Obama’s anti-gun buddies are already spending MILLIONS of dollars to get Kagan appointed to the Supreme Court.
