LIBERAL LIE: Judge Barrett has taken an “extreme position on guns” and is “opposed to banning felons from owning firearms.” FACT: Judge Barrett has faithfully applied the Supreme Court’s precedents to protect Second Amendment rights.

Judge Barrett’s entire opinion in Kanter v. Barr was premised on the fact that the plaintiff was not dangerous and did not pose any public safety risk.

The plaintiff in Kanter v. Barr pleaded guilty for financial fraud, not a violent crime. That hardly suggested that he posed a danger to the community.

The Left is hiding the fact that Judge Barrett’s opinion opened by emphasizing that violent felons can be banned from owning firearms. These are her own words:

“History is consistent with common sense: it demonstrates that legislatures have the power to prohibit dangerous people from possessing guns.” "But that power extends only to people who are dangerous.”
