From Everytown:

:NEW YORK - Today, Everytown for Gun Safety released the following statements in response to President Donald Trump's newly released additions to his shortlist of potential Supreme Court nominees, should a vacancy arise. The additions to the shortlist notably include Judges Kyle Duncan and James Ho, both of whom espoused an extreme and dangerous interpretation of the Second Amendment in voting to reconsider the decision in Mance v. Sessions, which had upheld a federal gun safety statute, and said they would have struck the statute down; former U.S. Solicitor General Paul Clement, the attorney of choice for the NRA and its affiliates, including in McDonald v. Chicago, NYSRPA v. City of New York, and Peruta v. County of San Diego; and Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX), Tom Cotton (R-AR), and Josh Hawley (R-MO), all of whom have opposed common-sense gun safety laws like background checks on all gun sales throughout their time in the Senate:
