Columbia, South Carolina is a spot of blue in a sea of red, and it’s one of the few places in the state where gun control activists have been able to find a footing for their efforts to criminalize the right to keep and bear arms. Back in 2019, the city adopted three local gun control ordinances; a “red-flag” gun seizure law, a ban on possessing firearms within 1,000 feet of a school, and adding buildings where home-built firearms have been made to the city’s nuisance laws.

Judge Jackson, who was only recently elevated to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, has authored just two opinions on the merits, both in the past month. Her judicial record tells us truly little about her views on the Second Amendment or about the firearm industry.
