I wondered why even Fox News cut from the questioning of Barr when the gun rights question came up....they choose to go to the pundits Blah Blah Blah instead !!. Hmmm HC

There is a reason why William Barr, who is POTUS Donald Trump’s pick to become the next attorney general, is a favorite among the establishment crowd in Washington, D.C., and it likely has less to do with his legal credentials than his policy credentials: He’s not a big supporter of the founders’ vision of the Second Amendment.

At least, that’s what a number of gun rights organizations are saying.

In a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), the Firearms Policy Coalition said it was opposed to Barr’s confirmation as Attorney General on the grounds that he has previously voiced support for Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPO), or what are commonly referred to as “red flag laws,” as well as his opinion that “there is room for reasonable regulation” of gun rights under the Constitution.

That’s troubling because the language of the Second Amendment makes it clear that government has no authority to regulate firearms in the first place: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
