Gun Owners of America has alerted me that you will soon be voting on the confirmation of two Biden Administration nominees: Health and Human Services Secretary Nominee Xavier Becerra and Department of Justice Attorney General Nominee Merrick Garland. As an active constituent of yours, I respectfully request that you vote against both of these anti-gun nominees. Neither of them supports the Second Amendment. And GOA will be rating a vote for both candidates as "anti-gun." Please uphold your oath of office by voting against these two picks. Thank you.

Gun owners nationwide oppose the nomination of Judge Merrick Garland to lead the Department of Justice as Attorney General. Garland was one of four judges who took up the Heller case, prior to its going before the Supreme Court where he voted against Dick Heller. This puts Garland in a class of people who actually voted that the Second Amendment was nothing but the right of a governor to raise a militia. At his Judiciary Committee hearing this week, he also said, “I can’t promise [that I won’t argue for overturning Heller].” (Emphasis added.) But that’s not all. He also said, “I think the president is entitled to pursue [a ban on commonly-owned firearms].” That is wrong. All gun controls constitute unconstitutional infringements. For all of these reasons and more, Judge Merrick Garland is unfit to serve as our nation’s Attorney General. I also oppose the nomination of the anti-gun Xavier Becerra to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Gun Owners of America will keep me informed on these nominees and how all Senators vote.

Gun owners nationwide oppose the nomination of Xavier Becerra to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. He supported (1) the Standard Capacity Magazine Ban in California’s Duncan v. Becerra calling the measure “sensible and constitutional,” (2) a so-called “Assault Weapon” Registration mandate in Miller v. Becerra, (3) a handgun ban also known as the so-called Unsafe Handgun Act in a case known as Pena v. Horan, and (4) a failed Ammunition Background Check System even though it had a false positive denial rate of over 97 percent at the time in a case labeled Rhode v. Becerra. If confirmed, Xavier Becerra will surely use the 80,000 HHS employees and $1.3 budget to circumvent the Dickey Amendment to advocate and promote gun control using a loophole created recently by the passage of the anti-gun Fix NICS legislation. For all of these reasons, I believe that Xavier Becerra is also unfit to serve as our nation’s Secretary of Health and Human Services. I also oppose the anti-gun Judge Merrick Garland to lead the Department of Justice as Attorney General. Gun Owners of America will inform me of how you vote on both of these anti-gun nominees.
