Justice Sonia Sotomayor is facing criticism for her stance on gun control, with many accusing her of hypocrisy. Critics argue that while she supports disarming law-abiding Americans, she benefits from taxpayer-funded armed security. This sentiment is echoed in her dissenting opinion in the McDonald case, where she stated that the Framers did not write the Second Amendment to protect a private right of armed self-defense. The criticism highlights a perceived double standard, as her bodyguards are allowed to use firearms for protection while ordinary citizens are restricted. Additionally, her dissent in the Grants Passage case is also cited as evidence of her controversial stance.
"In sum, the Framers did not write the Second Amendment in order to protect a private right of armed self defense." This is what Sotomayor wrote in her dissenting opinion in the McDonald case. In short - never listen to the government when it comes to your own personal safety. https://t.co/tPD3greIwn
The blatant double standards. https://t.co/KXpzKWTFeD
Sotomayor has taxpayer funded armed security. She wants the rest of America disarmed. https://t.co/XB4DAyk5FZ
