Democrat Steve Bullock: Pack SCOTUS, Ban \u2018Assault Weapons\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

Montana Governor-turned-Democrat Senate candidate Steve Bullock has voiced support for packing the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) with leftist judges and for banning private ownership of \u201cassault weapons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Breitbart News reported that Bullock voiced his support for packing the court during an October 10, 2020, debate against Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT).<\/p>\n

The Hour\u00a0quoted<\/a>\u00a0Bullock as saying, \u201cWe need to figure out the ways to actually get the politics out of the court. That\u2019s anything from a judicial standards commission, or we\u2019ll look at any other thing that might be suggested, including adding justices.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daines responded by noting that Bullock\u2019s full-throated admission in support of court packing should put Montanans on alert that their rights \u2014 especially their gun rights \u2014 are in jeopardy should Bullock win in November.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201c[It]\u00a0should be a chilling, profound moment, that has not happened for generations; it\u2019s never been packed. As Montanans, that\u2019s a threat to our Second Amendment.\u201d<\/p>\n

On June 23, 2019, Breitbart News\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0Bullock\u2019s contention that guns should be viewed as a \u201cpublic health issue.\u201d And months earlier, on August 20, 2018, he assured CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper that\u00a0he would bar<\/a>\u00a0Montanans from owning common semiautomatic firearms like AR-15s if he could.<\/p>\n

The Billings Gazette\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0on the interview by Tapper, noting that Bullock spokesperson Ronja Abel indicated Bullock \u201csees a ban on assault rifles as protecting safety while preserving the rights of gun owners.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abel said, \u201cGov. Bullock is doing what most Americans are right now\u00a0\u2014 reflecting on how we got to the point where mass shootings are a common event\u00a0\u2014 and trying to find a way to stop it. Like many Montanans, Bullock is a gun owner and a hunter and he personally doesn\u2019t see the need for these kinds of firearms for hunting or personal safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

If SCOTUS is packed by the left, perhaps in a scenario where the number of justices increases from nine to 12 (or even 15 or more), the strict constitutionalist views held by the majority would be obliterated. In its place a majority favoring judicial activism and sharing Bullock\u2019s views on AR-15s and other commonly owned semiautomatic rifles would be seated, and the right to keep and bear arms would be in peril.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
