While we look forward to hearing from her and those who know her in the confirmation hearings, it appears that Judge Brown Jackson is such a jurist. We trust that she will continue to defend common-sense gun violence prevention laws and adjudicate questions before the court with an eye towards precedent and equity.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The NRA responded to Jackson\u2019s nomination with the following <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nraila.org\/articles\/20220225\/nra-statement-on-the-nomination-of-ketanji-brown-jackson-to-us-supreme-court\">statement<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson has never affirmed that the Second Amendment protects the individual, fundamental right of all Americans to keep and bear arms for the defense of themselves or others. Consequently, the NRA is concerned with President Biden\u2019s decision to nominate her to the Supreme Court of the United States at a crucial time when there are vital cases that will determine the scope and future of the Second Amendment and self-defense rights in our country.\u200b As we always do, the NRA will monitor her statements during the confirmation process and advise our members accordingly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Jackson is nominated to succeed retiring SCOTUS Justice Stephen Breyer.<\/p>\n<p><em>AWR Hawkins is an award-winning Second Amendment columnist for Breitbart News<\/em><em>\u00a0and the writer\/curator of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/downrange\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Down Range with AWR Hawkins<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em><em>a weekly newsletter focused o<\/em><em>n al<\/em><em>l things Second Amendment, also for Breitbart News.
