NRA/2A/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Trump, the recipient of support from the National Rifle Association and other gun rights groups, seized the opportunity Wednesday [3-28-18] to stick up for both firearms and conservative judges. The reason for the opportunity: A New York Times column by retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens calling for repeal of the Second Amendment guaranteeing the right to bear arms, saying it has been used to block reasonable gun control legislation…Stevens, who was appointed to the Supreme Court by Republican President Gerald Ford in 1975 and who retired in 2010, wrote his column in the wake of this past weekend’s gun control demonstrations in cities nationwide. Repeal of the Second Amendment is required in part because of a 2008 high court decision restricting the rights of governments to regulate firearms, Stevens wrote in an article in which he also criticized the NRA.”
