2nd amendment response for possible SCOTUS candidate – KRDO

VIDEO: Colorado Judge top contender...

COLORADO SPRINGS - With a Supreme Court seat up for grabs, some groups are looking at how the president's pick could affect second amendment rights.

Colorado Circuit Court Judge Neil Gorsuchemerged as a front runner for the spot early this week.

Right now, there is little information that indicates his thoughts about second amendment rights.

However, as a conservative, some groups that support more regulations are nervous about how his opinions could impact the future.

I don't think there's any question that he's going to be supportive of the Second Amendment. At Colorado Cease Fire, support the Second Amendment also. The real question is does he believe that the second amendment provides an absolute right to bear arms, said Tim Mauser, the spokesperson for Colorado Ceasefire.

Gun rights' advocates hope another conservative justice will mean fewer regulations.

What it was about was keeping a conservative pro-gun person in the Supreme Court, said Paul Paradis, the owner of Paradise Sales Firearms.

President Trump is expected to nominate a candidate for the seat next week.

Trump White House Website Addresses Law Enforcement and the Second Amendment – Bearing Arms

Source: Screenshot: http://bit.ly/2iU60Ys

A few changes were made to the official White House website on the day of President Donald Trumps inauguration, including adding a Standing Up For Our Law Enforcement Community page under the Issues section.

The page, as expected, discusses the growing disrespect for police officers, violent crime, and keeping our communities safe. It even addresses non-peaceful protesting, which has made national headlines for disruption and violence.

Trump also made sure to mention his administrations commitment to upholding Americans Second Amendment rights.

It reads, in part:

One of the fundamental rights of every American is to live in a safe community. A Trump Administration will empower our law enforcement officers to do their jobs and keep our streets free of crime and violence. The Trump Administration will be a law and order administration. President Trump will honor our men and women in uniform and will support their mission of protecting the public. The dangerous anti-police atmosphere in America is wrong. The Trump Administration will end it.

Our job is not to make life more comfortable for the rioter, the looter, or the violent disrupter.

Supporting law enforcement means supporting our citizens ability to protect themselves. We will uphold Americans Second Amendment rights at every level of our judicial system.

Under the heading, Stand Up for Our Law Enforcement Community, the statement says:

SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER

One of the fundamental rights of every American is to live in a safe community. A Trump Administration will empower our law enforcement officers to do their jobs and keep our streets free of crime and violence. The Trump Administration will be a law and order administration. President Trump will honor our men and women in uniform and will support their mission of protecting the public. The dangerous anti-police atmosphere in America is wrong. The Trump Administration will end it.

A latter portion of the statement turns to the important role armed citizens play in law and order:

Supporting law enforcement means supporting our citizens ability to protect themselves. We will uphold Americans Second Amendment rights at every level of our judicial system.

The pledge to support gun rights via the judicial system is an outworking of Trumps October 9 pledge to save the Second Amendment from people like Hillary Clinton. He made this pledge during a presidential debate. His entire statement:

I am looking to appoint judges very much in the mold of Justice Scalia. People that will respect the constitution of the United States. And I think that this is so importantalso, the Second Amendment which is totally under siege by people like Hillary Clinton.

The statement posted to WhiteHouse.gov shows that Trump is doing exactly what he pledged to do.
