Statement on Supreme Court Decision Striking DC Gun Law |
||
Washington, D.C., June 26th – Congressman Jim Moran, Virginia Democrat, issued the following statement in response to today’s U.S. Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision striking down the District of Columbia’s ban on handguns and trigger lock requirements. “We ought to respect the prerogatives of urban communities on the frontlines battling gun violence in the same way we respect those of more suburban and rural areas where guns are more commonly used in sport shooting and hunting. “I am relieved the Court didn’t take this ruling to the extreme and unravel decades of responsible gun safety laws enacted by local and state governments. One thing is certain, the gun safety debate will continue. Future fights will be on turf where supporters of commonsense firearm safety laws stand on firm footing.” --30-- |
