FRANKFORT – Kentucky State Senate President David L. Williams released the following statement today regarding the Supreme Court’s ruling on the D.C. gun ban:
“The Supreme Court’s decision to lift the ban on the law abiding citizens of Washington, D.C. from exercising their fundamental right to bear arms is a victory to all citizens who value their Constitutional rights. Today we have seen first hand the significance of having strong judges that understand that their role is to interpret the law as written, not create new laws. The importance of this decision will also be a factor in the presidential election considering Barack Obama’s record of consistent opposition to gun owner’s rights.”

“I am ecstatic about the Supreme Court’s ruling today affirming the right of an individual to keep and bear arms. Today’s ruling shows the importance of having judges on the bench who interpret the Constitution as written instead of legislating from the bench. As a Member of Congress, I will always vote to uphold the Second Amendment and the rights of gun owners and sportsmen and women everywhere.”
