43. The civil right of a person to own and posses a firearm for self defense (per Heller) is attacked

here on DU all the time. Obviously, some peoples' civil rights are more worthy of protection is the eyes of many here. For some that is marriage equality, others privacy, others RKBA. I wish it would be ALL civil rights that were respected as you seem to call for.

Do you think that a nominee who is against the civil right to firearm ownership does not deserve confirmation or to be considered a Democrat?
