Could Gorsuch’s Religious Influences Affect His Views On Gun Rights?

Add to this the Episcopal positions on Obamacare and on wealth redistributing “global warming/climate change/environmental justice.” We’ll not find much in agreement with the reasons conservatives in general and gun owners in particular supported, voted for, and have been consistently defending Donald Trump against all comers.
The position of the Episcopal church on gun rights is something we’ve noted before. They don’t believe in gun rights. Combine that with the other positions they take that could affect said rights, and you might have a volatile mixture of beliefs that undermines liberty.
We just don’t know unless Gorsuch is questioned in detail on these issues. Suffice it to say that I share David’s skepticism of Gorsuch until he’s proven himself with opinions that line up with the text of the constitution. Not infringing “lightly” on second amendment rights doesn’t even come close.

I don’t trust this guy. It will not take long for him to reveal himself. DJT has made some mistakes with appointments but I think he will improve.

Yeah, when he was quoted saying that the 2A should not be infringed lightly, I was left wondering just what he will think is a perfectly justifiable reason to infringe it. I don’t think he’s as bad as Sotomayor, or anything Hillary would have thrown at us, but he bears watching.

Yeah, it’s gonna really suck if this guy ends up being a stealth social justice warrior (even a light one).

Yep yep yep. I agree with all three of you.
As with all else, we’ll just have to see.
