Where do you see she is pro 2nd?
Here. Starts on page 27.
Massive tl;dr:
Barrett argues in a dissenting opinion for the right of nonviolent felons (in this case, a guy who was convicted of felony mail fraud) to possess firearms.
As a side note, I honestly can't believe that falsely selling therapeutic shoe inserts as "Medicare approved" and then billing Medicare accordingly actually counts as a felony. Fucking clown world.
I saw, the question can she be counted on to rule against the NFA.
Who knows, its the only opinion she's written regarding the 2nd Amendment I could find. Still, arguing for the ability of nonviolent felons to possess firearms is pretty radical, its not even something Scalia would argue, at least that I'm aware of. Don't quote me on that, though. Scalia has authored WAY too many opinions for me to go through all of them and look for that kind of thing.
EDIT: Also something I was unaware of till now, both the majority opinion judges on that case were Reagan-era appointments. Fucking digraceful.
Reagan is very suspect to me these days. Just about everything he did policy wise has benefited the swamp.
