    Scalia takes Kagan to gun range, sources say

    "According to two witnesses, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia took fellow Justice Elena Kagan out for a lesson in skeet shooting at his shooting club in Virginia last week."



    This, of course, is no guarantee of anything. That said, I support the approach.
    I am or have been a) a member of the board of directors of a gun club b) NRA certified rangemaster c) been a fund raiser for NRA foundation d) life member of SAF and e) trained several hundred new college age shooters here in the PRK. If you think that posting a bagillion times here on this board makes you special you are part of the problem in this state - put down the [expletive] keyboard and try doing something positive in the real world for a change you Fudd.

    Let me know when he takes her pistol shooting or to an NFA shoot.


    Liberals seem to be able to compartmentalize their need to outlaw guns -- somehow shotguns are okay. Even Biden and his Berettas are okay, probably because they're too expensive for most citizens.
    People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome.

        One step at a time guys

        And yeah, a pick of Kagan shooting an MP5 would be golden.

                Any gun in the hands of any non-shooter or anti-gun person is an educational experience that often illuminates that little light bulb in their heads. A truly wise justice will recognize the importance of giving the weaker members of society a method by which they can effectively defend themselves.

                Maybe we should start a SCOTUS ammo fund so that they can go to that range and blast away. The more rounds sent down range, the bigger the smile...

                  Often perhaps, but not always. Remember, Feinstein once had a CCW. Didn't stop her tyrannous ways.

                    I'm sure that others are better informed than I, and already knew this. For me, it's good to see that Scalia is actually "Pro Gun".
                    Never initiate force against another. That should be the underlying principle of your life. But should someone do violence to you, retaliate without hesitation, without reservation, without quarter, until you are sure that he will never wish to harm - or never be capable of harming - you or yours again.

                      Some people often assume that the originalists/conservatives on the bench don't mix with the liberals, and vice-versa. It couldn't be more false - those are brilliant people who have personal friendships. Ginsberg and Scalia are close friends who share a passion for the opera, wine and fine food. And just back a few months ago, Scalia was describing Kagan as a friend.

                          Russian Commissars often enjoyed American goods and a Dacha in the country while prescribing communism and austerity for the proletariat.

                          In other words, she could come to love guns and shooting as a hobby and it would do nothing to help the position of ordinary American gun owners.

                          As an aside, remember that Thomas tends to follow the Constitution whilst Scalia tends to follow precedent -- whatever he may favour.

                            A true Progressive firmly believes that the average human is too stupid to to be trusted to decide for him/herself what to have for lunch - much less own a firearm. The true Progressive believes that decision making and firearms are best reserved for elites such as themselves.

                              Actually, it's a bit of a caricature to portray Thomas as someone who doesn't believe in stare decisis, as opposed to Scalia. He's a bit more complex than that.
