In the last two
weeks of June, the United Nations held another review conference on its
efforts to counter what it considers illicit dealing in small arms. The U.S.
played the game well. But unfortunately, you can’t beat a cheater. In theory,
this U.N. program might be a modestly useful way to promote cooperation
against the illicit international trade in small arms.

President Donald
Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh visited top U.S. Senate
Republicans on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, seeking to build support among
lawmakers in what promises to be a contentious confirmation battle with
Democrats.
|
|
|
|
|
Senate Democrats
launched a fierce campaign Tuesday to derail President Trump’s Supreme Court
nominee by warning of the potential damage he might do to health-care access,
abortion rights and the pending federal investigation into Trump’s
associates. But Republicans largely rallied around the nominee, U.S. Appeals
Court Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, leading party leaders to predict his
confirmation is inevitable.

|
No nominee to the
U.S. Supreme Court has had such a detailed record on Second Amendment as does
Brett Kavanaugh. His 2011 dissenting opinion in the case known as Heller II
was consistent with his long-standing adherence to text, history, tradition,
and Supreme Court precedent.

|
|
Hundreds of Brett
Kavanaugh’s decisions are now in the spotlight after President Trump formally
selected him Monday night to fill retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony
Kennedy's seat.

If we were to pick
one symbol of freedom in today’s politically charged America, it must be the
gun. The constitutional right to own and carry a firearm sets America apart
from the world and puts us ahead of every other nation in terms of individual
freedom.
|
|
|
|
|
Gun-rights activists
are hoping they will have a sympathetic ear from President Trump’s new
Supreme Court nominee, pointing to a 2011 dissent he wrote in a major gun
case arguing a ban on semiautomatic rifles was unconstitutional.
