[QUOTE="Iwant1, post: 1040416, member: 2905"] This is a piece of the reply from Senator Inhofe: I am very satisfied that the United States Supreme Court recently ruled in a landmark 5-4 decision that the Washington D.C. gun ban is unconstitutional. The Supreme Court also positively affirmed that "(t)he Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home." Before the Supreme Court heard this case, I joined former Vice President Cheney, 54 other Senators, and 250 Members of the House of Representatives - including all members of the Oklahoma delegation - in submitting an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to affirm that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess firearms. The Supreme Court will soon hear another Second Amendment case (McDonald v. City of Chicago) regarding Chicago's handgun ban. The Supreme Court will decide if the Second Amendment applies to state and local government gun laws. I signed another amicus brief filed in McDonald v. City of Chicago asking the Supreme Court to affirm that the right to keep and bear arms applies to state and local governments through the Fourteenth Amendment. You will be interested to know that when I signed the amicus brief in District of Colombia v. Heller, it had the support of more Members of Congress than any other amicus brief in known history. I am now pleased to say the amicus brief filed in McDonald v. City of Chicago has even more signatories, with a total of 251 Members of the House of Representatives and 58 Senators signing on to the brief. As your Senator, I will continue to strongly oppose any effort to undermine the Second Amendment and an individual citizen's right to keep and bear arms. Again, thank you for your comments. Please do not hesitate to contact me again. [/QUOTE]
