"I’m proud to announce that I am nominating Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve on the Supreme Court," Biden wrote in a Friday morning tweet confirming his pick. "Currently serving on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, she is one of our nation’s brightest legal minds and will be an exceptional Justice."

We need a justice on the court who understands that there is no daylight between the right to bear arms and laws that protect Americans from the threat of gun violence and a justice who understands that the effects of our laws fall on Americans differently. While we look forward to hearing from her and those who know her in the confirmation hearings, it appears that Judge Brown Jackson is such a jurist.

Joe Biden on March 1, 2022 wrote: And I will keep doing everything in my power to crack down on gun trafficking and ghost guns you can buy online and make at home—they have no serial numbers and can’t be traced.

And I ask Congress to pass proven measures to reduce gun violence. Pass universal background checks. Why should anyone on a terrorist list be able to purchase a weapon?

Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.

Repeal the liability shield that makes gun manufacturers the only industry in America that can’t be sued.

These laws don’t infringe on the Second Amendment. They save lives.

He mentioned "high-capacity magazines" and deer with "kevlar vests."
The Second Amendment has nothing to do with deer and kevlar vests---and everything
to do with defending liberty against tyranny--internal and external.
Biden is a lawyer too so he should know more about the Bill of Rights than he pretends.
Sad that we have a President this ignorant.

Our founding fathers were very familiar with what happens when the elite have no fear of the common people. They go drunk with power and begin to subject their will on the rest of us. What has scared me a bit the past several years is that the elites use law enforcement to subject the rest of us to tyranny. There was a time when we could argue that our military or law enforcement would refuse to violate the constitution. Observing the ease with which law enforcement will violate constitutional rights, from the FBI all the way down to the uniformed officer on the street. We can no longer trust them to abide by the oath they took. The vast majority of them are more loyal to their keepers than they are to their oath. They typically enjoy exercising authority over the very people they are suppose to protect. Then we have military leaders drunk with power at the executive level who would love to stomp on the common man with their power. The second amendment is meant to give us all a means to resist this kind of oppression.

Any department, FBI, CIA, DoJ, police, military, gets its marching orders from the top. If leadership is tyranical, the entire department will be. if leadership is constitutional, there may be pockets of tyrany, but the rest of the department can root it out. Our leadership is corrupt.
