For Immediate Release:
(Groton, CT) – The Connecticut Citizens Defense League releases the following statement on SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh as the hopeful replacement for the seat recently vacated by Anthony Kennedy.
CCDL President Scott Wilson stated:
“Donald J. Trump’s nomination to the Supreme Court this evening seems like a good choice to fill the slot. Although no one can be 100% certain on how a justice will decide on certain issues that come before the highest court in the land, Brett Kavanaugh has a track record of upholding the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution as an enumerated right that extends to individuals. His work is evidenced in his dissent of Heller v D.C. 2011.”
Wilson Added:
We know that there will soon be full on attacks on the nominee by Senators Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy. CCDL as an organization finds it peculiar that in the face of so many lifesaving uses of firearms that occur on a daily basis, not once do either of these politicians speak about the beauty of our constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Never does Murphy or Blumenthal speak of the everyday citizen, the natural right of self-defense, and the hundreds of thousands of lives saved every year by lawful gun ownership.”
About the CCDL:
The Connecticut Citizens Defense League was formed in 2009 by a small group of concerned citizens as a non-partisan organization to advocate second amendment rights in the state of Connecticut. Since their founding, the group has grown to over 30,000 members across the state. Thanks to this large supportive base across the state the CCDL has become a fixture at the Capitol, and well-recognized by committees that see firearms related bills. As the go-to organization in the state they are consulted regularly by lawmakers who have questions and concerns about pending legislation or existing laws.

Let’s hope Trumps pick for the latest Supreme Court spot gets conformation. It would be about time someone upheld the 2nd Amendment instead of eroding it.
By contrast, fully automatic weapons, also known as machine guns, have traditionally been banned and may continue to be banned after Heller.

Sounds like an anti-gunner to me. It conflicts with Miller and Heller (that cited/re-confirmed Miller).
Better than any Clinton nominee? Sure. CCDL has to decide what level of infringement it would be happy with. And let people know.
Right now, it appears as if CCDL does have favorable views on infringing on our RKBA.
