Justice Anthony Kennedy, the wild card, swing vote of SCOTUS is retiring. Make way for a new, unapologetic pro-gun justice. (Photo: Wikipedia<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n

Anti-gunners across the nation are lamenting the retirement of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. Because they know what\u2019s coming. The nomination of an unabashed and unequivocal supporter of the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n

For many gun owners who may have held their nose and voted for the cocksure GOP presidential candidate in 2016, this was the payoff. The promise that Donald Trump, despite all his glaring flaws and foot-in-mouth moments, would fill the high court with conservative justices who would protect our precious Constitutional rights for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

Assuming Trump holds true to his word, it\u2019s a great day for the firearms community. Looking ahead, there exists the real possibility that major 2A cases that have been given the cold shoulder by SCOTUS over the years will now be heard. We\u2019re talking about the constitutionality of bans on certain black rifles, prohibitions on open carry, may-issue concealed carry standards, 3-D printed guns, and waiting periods for gun purchases.<\/p>\n

\n

Elections matter! Thank you again to all #NRA<\/a> members who got out and voted in 2016. Because of you, @realDonaldTrump<\/a> is appointing the replacement to Justice #Kennedy<\/a> who was the deciding vote in DC v. Heller. #ThankYou<\/a> #2A<\/a> #SCOTUS<\/a> \u200b https:\/\/t.co\/nw3kTegdyB<\/a><\/p>\n

Many believe as Huffpo\u00a0guest writer Eric Segall noted<\/a>\u00a0that the roadblock to these cases getting the green light was Kennedy. Though the Reagan appointee had the trappings of a conservative, he was ultimately a wild card. His peers on the bench had no idea which way he\u2019d vote, so rather than find out, they would often opt to kick the can down the road.<\/p>\n

With Kennedy out of the picture, there will be nothing standing in the way of a pro-gun SCOTUS from setting the record straight on our right to keep and bear arms. As Segall lamented, \u201cour nation\u2019s highest court may well start imposing its will on the gun measures of all 50 states and many cities and towns.\u201d<\/p>\n

SEE ALSO:\u00a0Schumer\u2019s #1 Goal: \u2018Get a Progressive Supreme Court\u2019<\/a><\/h2>\n

The significance of this cannot be overstated. Back in 2016, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said<\/a>, \u201cMy number one goal, should I become majority leader with your help, is to get a progressive Supreme Court.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA progressive majority on the Supreme Court is an imperative, and if I become majority leader, I will make it happen,\u201d he continued. \u201cI will make it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Needless to say, Schumer failed. But he was keenly aware of the stakes. Now, the only thing the New York Democrat can do is try to delay a confirmation until after the midterm elections. A play that is destined to fail given that only a simple majority is needed to confirm a Supreme Court nominee. There are 51 Republican senators and several red-state Dems who will likely fall in line behind Trump\u2019s choice.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Senate stands ready to fulfill its constitutional role by offering advice and consent on President Trump\u2019s nominee to fill this vacancy,\u201d Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday. \u201cWe will vote to confirm Justice Kennedy\u2019s successor this fall.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

If the Senate\u2019s constitutional duty to advise and consent is just as important as the President\u2019s right to nominate, as Leader McConnell also reminded us, why should a midterm election be any less important than a presidential election?<\/p>\n

\u2014 Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) June 28, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Gun-control organizations are scrambling to come up with a plan. Everytown for Gun Safety, the gun-control organization funded by Michael Bloomberg, released a statement suggesting that there will be some sort of resistance to the inevitable.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Supreme Court has made it clear that reasonable gun laws are entirely consistent with the Second Amendment,\u201d said Eric Tirschwell, Everytown\u2019s Litigation Director.<\/p>\n

SEE ALSO:\u00a0Trump Keeps His Promise, Nominates Pro-Gun Judge to Supreme Court<\/a><\/h2>\n

\u201cWe fully expect the gun lobby will push for a nominee inclined to restrict public officials’ ability to pass common-sense gun laws, but Americans will not stand idly by any attempt to use this nomination to undermine public safety,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

Tirschwell has it backward. For years SCOTUS, via calculated inaction, has allowed public officials to infringe on the 2A rights of law-abiding citizens, thus making it harder for these responsible taxpayers to keep their families safe. With the retirement of Justice Kennedy, those days are over. Patriots around this nation will rejoice every time a so-called \u201ccommon-sense gun law\u201d is declared unconstitutional.<\/p>\n
