So that's what I'm talking about.
Did you even read that article? They're talking about the same two cases I mentioned, but look at what they are saying:
"In 2007, Garland tried to inflict one of the most restrictive gun laws in the country"....
Look up the 2007 case. He wasn't even involved in the case. The case was only ruled on by 3 judges, none of which was him. Can you seriously trust an article that calls that "He supported the D.C. gun ban in 2007"
It's bs.
Let's look at the other case:
This case is simply a record retention case. The instant background checks put in place are supposed to be destroyed. The FBI was holding them for 6mo (no 90days) and then destroying them (I don't know the reason for holding, I think they argued processing time). The ruling on this case is no different than a HIPAA ruling and has nothing to do with right to bear arms.
Maybe he posts how much he hates guns on his facebook. I don't know...
but claiming he's anti-gun based on those two cases is really kind of stupid and I'd be pretty suspicious of anyone who's making those statements based off that thin evidence.
But hey... if you want to be manipulated, that's your choice.
