Senator to Parkland teens: Kavanaugh ‘is your worst nightmare’ on guns

Sen. Richard Blumenthal points out one of the many ways in which Trump's extremist Supreme Court nominee is dangerous.

On Tuesday morning, members of the Senate Judiciary Committee held a press conference to speak out against Trump’s nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) had a direct message to the Parkland teens who survived February’s gun massacre.

“Here is a memo to the Parkland students,” Blumenthal said. “If you care about common sense gun violence protection, Judge Kavanaugh is your worst nightmare.”

Since the shooting that killed 17 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, several student survivors have organized marches, protests, and voter registration drives to demand gun control legislation and challenge NRA-backed politicians who have blocked such measures.

“If you want background checks, or bans on assault weapons, or any of the other common sense, sensible measures that we have in Connecticut or California or New York, Judge Kavanaugh will strike them down,” Blumenthal said. “That’s in his record, that’s indisputable. He is the worst nightmare of advocates of common sense, sensible measures to stop the epidemic of gun violence in this country.”.............................................

1. Yep

I guarantee the NRA is already prepping multiple cases to challenge state level assault weapon bans, magazine restrictions, and registration laws. Kennedy was the only thing holding them back. With him gone, and Kavanaugh, who is on record saying AWB's and registration is unconstitutional, you can bet New Yorks SAFE act, California's AWB, etc will get overturned.
