Members of the Congressional Black Caucus Cuomo, lawmakers urge Senate to block Kavanaugh over guns

[livingston]

NEW YORK (AP) — Members of the Congressional Black Caucus have joined New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in calling on the U.S. Senate to reject Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh because of his expansive interpretation of gun rights and the Second Amendment.


Cuomo, a Democrat, said Saturday that Kavanaugh's past opinions show that he believes it is a constitutional right to carry "even the most dangerous assault weapons."

Rep. Gregory Meeks, a New York Democrat, called Kavanaugh's nomination "a grave threat to reasonable gun control measures enacted by states."

Meeks and other lawmakers joined Cuomo at a Manhattan news conference to urge the Senate to block Kavanaugh's nomination.

Kavanagh has taken stands favoring broad gun rights in his current job as a judge on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Also Saturday, Cuomo was endorsed by the Washington-based Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, named after President Ronald Reagan's press secretary, the late Jim Brady. Brady was left permanently disabled after suffering severe gunshot wounds during the 1981 assassination attempt on Reagan.

Its really sad that democratic politicians have made black people afraid of guns.
Many blacks in the inner city have no idea they can walk into Walmart and buy a shotgun.
Alot of them believe its a special privilege affored to rich white guys.

The irony, the Congressional Black Caucus members are being used, just like slaves, as mindless stage props.

If Cuomo is against Brett Kavanaugh, then Kavanaugh should have 100% of our (gun owner, pro 2nd Amend. citizens).
The Congressional Black Caucus should focus their resource/energy on solving the problems in the Black community. And stop blaming guns for the problems of that community.
