Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (1969 - 1986), Warren Burger;
“The Gun Lobby’s interpretation of the Second Amendment is one of the greatest pieces of fraud - I repeat the word fraud - on the American People by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime. The real purpose of the Second Amendment was to ensure that state armies – the militia – would be maintained for the defense of the state. The very language of the Second Amendment refutes any argument that it was intended to guarantee every citizen an unfettered right to any kind of weapon he or she desires.” Warren Burger, 1990

Burger was a Nixon appointee. Hardly a liberal, he was called a moderate, but many might consider him one of the more conservative Justices, certainly Chief Justice, in recent years.
