Judicial views on firearms are expected to become an issue as Governor Charlie Baker seeks to fill at least three seats on the state’s highest court, a member of a judicial nominee review panel said Wednesday.

Jennie Caissie, the lone Republican on the eight-member elected Governor’s Council, which vets judicial nominees, found harmony with the gun views of Michele Ouimet-Rooke, the nominee for a Springfield District Court judgeship.

The daughter of a Springfield firefighter, Ouimet-Rooke told councilors at her nomination hearing Wednesday that she respected guns growing up and is an “enormous supporter of the Second Amendment’’ — which gives Americans the right to bear arms.

“Law-abiding citizens who own guns legally, they’re not shooting up the local Dairy Mart,’’ Ouimet-Rooke, 52, said during questioning by Caissie.

“I couldn’t agree with you more,’’ Caissie responded.

The Oxford Republican indicated she would make gun rights an issue as the council prepares to vet and vote on nominees for at least three soon-to-be vacated seats on the Supreme Judicial Court.

“I know we’re going to hear a lot more about it. We’ve got three, maybe four SJC picks coming up. It’s a question that I know I ask nominees,’’ Caissie said. “Our SJC seems to engage in a legal game of Twister, if you will, to find ways not to respect law-abiding citizens’ Second Amendment rights.’’

Ouimet-Rooke was nominated Jan. 27 to replace Judge Gregory Williams, a former assistant attorney general appointed to the Springfield court in 1999.

Ouimet-Rooke, a Democrat, backed Baker in the 2014 gubernatorial election with an endorsement touted by Baker’s campaign as demonstrative of the governor’s cross-party appeal. Ouimet-Rooke told the News Service during the campaign that the Swampscott Republican “represented Main Street Massachusetts.’’
