7. Your confederate statue analogy is less than good

I realize you don't favor a number of his rulings and have no issue with opposition to nor criticism of his opinions on certain issues. He was a US SC Justice and I will not personally criticize a Justice, regardless of their positions. Let me also point out that his confirmation by the Senate was by a 98-0 vote. I just don't see the equivalence to CSA war hero or politician.

The discussion over the RKBA has been heated but the 2A is still part of the Bill of Rights. I don't expect that any article therein will ever be altered or removed. The debate is part of "the animated contest of freedom".

However, it's always fun to MMQB 98 US Senators.
