President Donald Trump on Tuesday evening nominated Neil Gorsuch to fill the opening on the U.S. Supreme Court left by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. 

Gorsuch, a justice on the Tenth Circuit, has been a strong supporter of the individual right of law-abiding Americans to keep and bear arms for self-defense.

“President Trump has made an outstanding choice in nominating Judge Gorsuch for the U.S. Supreme Court,” said NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox. “He has an impressive record that demonstrates his support for the Second Amendment. We urge the Senate to swiftly confirm Judge Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, just as it did in confirming him to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit by a unanimous voice vote.”
