(During day one of the confirmation hearing, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., accused Barrett of having &#8220;radical&#8221; and &#8220;activist&#8221; views on the Second Amendment).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf your views on the Second Amendment are adopted by the Supreme Court, it would imperil common-sense state laws like Connecticut\u2019s all around the country,\u201d Blumenthal said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Da Nang Dick&#8217;s opinion isn&#8217;t worth a bucket of warm spit.
