    I'm glad that he stood up to bloomenthal.

    It's time for the political parties to pull heir heads out of their tails and get on with representing us and doing their jobs.

    Enough of the B.S.

    At least Sessions was able to tell Trump "No".

    So far, that seems to have escaped Barr.

    So, what does a "Bishop of Hippo" look like?

    Can you provide information on how you determined Barr is Anti Second Amendment? Or maybe this is a dose of GB propaganda?

    This was his confirmation testimony in Jan. of 2019.
    The Hon. William P. Barr:

    ?Sure. I think I opposed an assault weapon ban because I felt that was really sort of the aesthetics of the gun.

    Since that time Heller has been decided. Actually, before Heller, I did work on OLC on this issue, and I personally concluded that the Second Amendment creates a personal right, under the Constitution.

    It's based on the Lockean notion of the right of self-preservation. It's tied to that. I was glad to see Heller come out and vindicate that initial view that I had.

    And so there is no question under Heller that the right to have weapons, firearms, is protected under the Second Amendment and is a personal right. At the same time there is room for reasonable regulation.

    From my standpoint, what I would look for, in assessing a regulation, is what is the burden on law-abiding people and is it proportionate to whatever benefit, in terms of safety and effectiveness, will be conferred.

    As I said, just a moment ago, lets get down to the real problem we are confronting, which is keeping these weapons out of the hands of people who are mentally ill. I think all the rest of this stuff is really, essentially rhetoric, until we get that problem dealt with; in terms of regulatory approaches.?

    This transcript ends about 4:59:35 on January 15, 2019. Senator Cornyn has some additional commentary after that.

    Above is the first link I'll answer, I'll get to them all but this link pertains to my original post. The link you posted had text accusing Barr of wanting to confiscate guns and the page is biased to the extreme saying Barr has an "agenda" espousing confiscation and supported by the following headline.
    Attorney General Nominee William Barr Voices Support for Gun Confiscation

    IE: The slant is so bad it can only be thought of as Fake news Propaganda written with a CNN twist.


    This is a link to page where the link to the SAME video was posted with a "guns rights" bias.
    https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/susan-jones/william-barr-explains-single-most-important-thing-we-can-do-gun-control'

    William Barr Explains 'The Single Most Important Thing We Can Do in the Gun Control Area'
    Notice how the wording in your link says "confiscation" and the link to the second (original) says "important we can do for gun control" and SURPRISE it talks about reasonable gun control for MENTALLY ILL GUN OWNERS and not one word about confiscation.
    BACKGROUND on Video:
    The video is showing Barrs response to Senator Feinstein's question:
    (CNSNews.com) - "In 1994, you (Barr) said that gun control is a dead end," Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) told Attorney General-nominee William Barr at his confirmation hearing on Tuesday.

    "Do you still believe that prudent controls on weapons won't reduce violent crime?" Feinstein, a staunch gun control advocate, asked him.

    Now you know the question Barr is answering, it might help put his comments on the video in context, not that most people care about context.
    CNSNews:
    The liberal media are terrified of the truth, especially when it leads to uncomfortable questions about their own leftist worldview.

    CNSNews covers the stories that the liberal media are afraid to touch. It drives the national debate through real, honest journalism ? not by misrepresenting or ignoring the facts.

    BOTH pages are looking for your support and money, Original video was created by CSPAN.
