While never raising her voice or getting frustrated, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) needled Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh on his views on gun rights.
Their exchange focused on his interpretation, as a judge, of what constitutes “common use” under Supreme Court precedent on gun bans, which Kavanaugh invoked in a dissenting opinion disagreeing with an appeals court decision to uphold a D.C. assault weapons ban.
Feinstein questioned how Kavanaugh could consider assault weapons to be commonly used weapons, while Kavaunaugh argued that they are widely possessed, and thus fit the definition of “common use.”
At one point, Kavanaugh noted he was a native of the D.C. area and was well aware of the gun violence that plagued it.
“I certainly understand the importance of this issue,” he said.
…to Republican fund-raisers, the NRA and Russian Oligarchs…
I swear, @rascal_crone doing her AP imitation is writing this fucker’s answers.
Kavanaugh understands the issue so well that he will not shake hands with a gun violence victim whose child died because of a mass school shooting.
"argued that they are widely possessed, and thus fit the definition of “common use.”
When everyone has a tactical nuke, it will fit the definition of common use. They are practical and certainly fit the bill for self defense. When not in use for home protection and deer hunting, they have other uses. Like Alton Brown says, no single Unitaskers in the kitchen! Heck, I got mine under a table leg right now to stop it from wobbling. Everyone should have one.
