I subscribe to certain enemy newsletters, including that of the Brady Campaign. This link popped into my inbox.

If this is not confirmation that Kagan is anti-gun, here it is:
The Heller and McDonald decisions both defied precedent (to say nothing of the plain text of the Second Amendment) in fashioning a new right to be armed in the home for self-defense. Fortunately, and paradoxically, both rulings establish the foundation for the continued constitutionality of gun control laws that will make it harder for dangerous people to get guns, while still allowing gun ownership by law-abiding and responsible adults.
Everything we know about Elena Kagan suggests she will help to build on that foundation as a member of the Supreme Court. Nothing about her suggests that she will be a friend to the gun lobby’s Second Amendment extremism.
Translated from democrat to English, "Kagan is in our camp with this gun issue, after all, there are over 300M dangerous people in this country..."
