The Alliance for Justice Needs Your Help to Oppose the Nomination of Bill Pryor to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit!
On Wednesday, June 11th, the Senate Judiciary Committee will begin the nomination hearing for Bill Pryor to the U.S. Court of Appeals to the 11th Circuit. Pryor has championed the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, and fought against reasonable regulation of gun purchases.
Bill Pryor received the National Rifle Association's 2001 Harlon B. Carter Legislative Achievement Award. At its award presentation ceremony, the NRA congratulated Pryor for fighting "frivolous" lawsuits against the gun industry, "[defending] the Second Amendment in the courts," helping to draft Alabama laws that immunized the gun industry from municipal lawsuits, and repealing the two-day waiting period for handgun purchases. Upon receipt of the NRA's award, Pryor said: "In a republic that promotes a free society, as opposed to a police state, one of the basic organizing principles is that individuals have a right of self-defense and a right to acquire the means for that defense."
Pryor has sharply criticized lawsuits against the gun industry. At a 1999 news conference of the American Shooting Sports Council, Pryor said: "These types of lawsuits threaten the entire business community. The free market and the cause of human liberty cannot survive much more of this litigation madness...[gun suits] are a clear and present danger to the rule of law in our nation."
We need your assistance over the course of the next few days to call and/or e-mail members of the Senate Judiciary Committee OPPOSING the nomination of Bill Pryor. Gun control and gun safety groups that have diligently been working to stop gun industry immunity should help to oppose Bill Pryor for his support of the gun industry and the NRA. The NRA clearly favors such a judge being placed on the federal bench.
For a comprehensive review of Pryor's record, please go to independentjudiciary.com.
