WATCH: Trump-appointed judge chides colleagues' ignorance on guns in unique video dissent
Fox News
Judge Lawrence VanDyke says his 9th Circuit colleagues lack a 'basic familiarity with firearms' and recorded a video with a gun to supplement his dissent in a gun rights case.
Dressed in his judicial robes, VanDyke went on to show the mechanics of his personal firearms for several minutes. Jamie Joseph is a U.S. Politics reporter for Fox News Digital covering transgender and culture issues, the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services, and stateside legislative developments.
"As an appellate body, it's obviously not our role to make factual determinations," VanDyke said in the video. "So I share this not to supplement the factual record that we're using to decide this case. Instead, I share this because a rudimentary understanding of how guns are made, sold, used and commonly modified makes obvious why California's proposed tests and the one my colleagues are adopting today simply does not work."
