Sullivan Applauds U.S. Supreme Court’s Ruling on the Right to Bear Arms
Washington,
Jun 28, 2010 -
Today, Congressman John Sullivan issued the following statement applauding the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in the case of McDonald vs City of Chicago. The court’s ruling reaffirms the fundamental right of law abiding American citizens in all 50 states to bear arms.
“Today’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the case of McDonald vs. City of Chicago is a victory for the U.S. Constitution and for every law abiding American citizen who believes in the fundamental right to keep and bear arms. As an ardent supporter of 2nd amendment rights, I applaud the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision and firmly agree that the Constitution prohibits the government from denying citizens of any state the right to bear arms. Many Oklahomans choose to own a firearm for a variety of reasons, including for sport, hunting, and protection from criminals who have access to firearms illegally. Criminals will always find a way to circumvent any gun control law passed, and it is not only wrong, but unconstitutional, to leave law abiding citizens unarmed and without the means to protect themselves and their families.”
