Supreme Court Decision on Second Amendment D.C. v. Heller

President Bush Pleased by Supreme Court Decision on Second Amendment

The President strongly agrees with the Supreme Court's historic decision today that the Second Amendment protects the individual right of Americans to keep and bear arms. This has been the Administration's long-held view. The President is also pleased that the Court concluded that the DC firearm laws violate that right.
