Opinion
Fairfax, VA – -(Ammoland.com)- On Friday morning, the United States Senate voted 51-49 to limit debate on the confirmation of Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court. Now, your U.S. Senators need to hear from YOU to ensure he is seated on the nation’s highest court. Even if you’ve already contacted your Senators, please do so again before Judge Kavanaugh’s final confirmation vote.
Politely but firmly tell them you stand with Judge Kavanaugh and demand a “yes” vote on his confirmation. You can use the TAKE ACTION feature of our website or call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected with your Senators’ offices.
Ask Your U.S. Senators to Confirm Judge Kavanaugh
For gun owners – and indeed anyone who reveres the Constitution and the rule of law – Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination was a reason to celebrate. He is a textualist and originalist in the mold of the Supreme Court’s other Second Amendment stalwarts, including the late Justice Antonin Scalia and Justice Clarence Thomas. Judge Kavanaugh provided a staunch defense of the right to keep and bear arms in a case that concerned the constitutionality of the gun control regime D.C. enacted in the wake of the landmark District of Columbia v. Heller decision.
Dissenting from an opinion that upheld most aspects of the District’s intentionally oppressive regulations, Kavanaugh wrote: “As a lower court … it is not our role to re-litigate Heller or to bend it in any particular direction. Our sole job is to faithfully apply Heller and the approach it set forth for analyzing gun bans and regulations.” Applying the methodology set forth in Justice Scalia’s carefully-written but often-ignored opinion, Kavanaugh concluded, “In my judgment, both D.C.’s ban on semi-automatic rifles and its gun registration requirement are unconstitutional under Heller.”
Needless to say, this – plus his refusal to “bend” precedent to suit the personal politics of progressive “reformers” – have made Judge Kavanaugh a target of anti-gun members of the Senate.
That’s why your U.S. Senators must hear from you TODAY!
If Schumer and his anti-gun colleagues succeed in retaking control of the House and Senate in the upcoming elections, the Supreme Court will be an even more critical backstop for our fundamental liberties.
This is an historic turning point no gun owner can ignore. Please ask your U.S. Senators to confirm Judge Kavanaugh and preserve your Second Amendment rights for decades to come! You can contact your U.S. Senators at 202-224-3121 or click here to take action.

My Senator, Jeff Merkley (Democrat), has come out against Kavanaugh. But he will not say why, so my guess he is just another party lap-dog.
50-48 people. It’s a historic win. Thank your Senators if they voted yes. Send a message if they voted no. I just did to Angus King, telling him I’m voting for his Republican opponent on Nov 6.
@Ansel Hazen, Thank God! Now, I can hardly wait to see the entertaining performances of “Dingaling Bro’s Three Ring Libtard Circus”! The gymnastic logic. The bipolar-boors. The prancing posturing circus donkeys. The Flying Pelosis. Oh what a great 30 days this is going to be.
@ Ansel Hazen and Wild Bill, today was a very good day for conservatives and our Constitution. Soros spent a lot of money and he still lost. I would think he would fire some of the democrats in congress, maybe even chucky. You are right the circus will begin and it may be fun to watch now that the republicans have grown a pair.
Sen. Debbie “Stab-u-Now & Bleed-U-Later”, already prejudged the nomination as a “NO”; true to “Party” lines!
Text line for Senator Collins is 207 780 3575. I thanked her yesterday after that very good press conference.
Michigan’s senator, Debbie Stabenow already votes “No” – being a democRAT there is no way she’ll change her mind. I already called saying if she doesn’t vote “Yes” she doesn’t get my vote in November. Not exactly true since I will vote John James anyway. Hopefully we will have a Red Tsunami – but that’s ONLY if other conservatives get off their arse and vote instead of “leaving-it-up-to-the-next-guy” attitude. We are at war with communists masquerading as democRATS. While I do not believe most GOP are great, at least Trump has made his recommendations and he’s someone I trust his… Read more »
