He would reverse Heller.

On top of that, he is from Chicago.

I'm hoping this election cycle has taught the 'establishment' republicans a thing or 2 and that they will stick to their guns and not even allow the POTUS nomination a hearing, much less confirm any 'moderates' that he puts up.

Good article mojo84. Thanks for posting. It would mean the end of 2A rights as we know it, if this guy makes it to the S.C.

Looks like McConnell made it pretty clear again today that they will not even allow a hearing. Hope that's true.

Oh...not even. They are doubling down in fact by trying to steal the nomination from Trump and install a Ryan/Kasich ticket. And I am most decidedly NOT a Trump voter, I just hate subversion of the will of the voters.

It's come down to the last two people the establishment wanted vying for candidacy. It's a beautiful thing. :cheers2:

:iagree:

Some talking heads have suggested Ryan/Kasich - but others have said they plan to allow the process work, and the likelyhood of someone other then the 2 frontrunners being a valid or accepted choice would be a fools errand. I wonder if in the end that Cruz will get their backing because there has been alot of 'guess we'll have to eat crow' type comments about Cruz from people like Gramnesty and others of his ilk.
