Oppose anti-gun Supreme Court nominees

On Supreme Court Nominees: Mourdock would have voted against Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, citing clear evidence of their strongly held liberal biases toward government supported legal abortion and their openness to weakening our 2nd amendment rights to bear arms. Mourdock believes that judges should respect the original intent of the Founders when interpreting the meaning of the Constitution.

Right to keep and bear arms is an individual right

Dick Lugar earns a "D+" rating from the NRA and an "F" from the Gun Owners of America for being a strong advocate of gun control. Lugar has voted for the "assault weapons" ban, the Brady Bill, the DC handgun ban and other gun control legislation.

Richard Mourdock previously earned an "A" rating from the NRA. He understands that gun control does not equal crime control and that the right to keep and bear arms is an individual right guaranteed by the Constitution.
