Kagen: “Supreme Court Ruling Upholds Second Amendment Rights”
(WASHINGTON, D.C.) — Congressman Steve Kagen, M.D. today commended the majority in a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that strikes down a handgun ban in Washington, D.C. that ran counter to the rights of law-abiding gun owners under the Second Amendment.
“Today’s decision by the nation’s highest court upholds our individual rights to keep and bear arms,” Kagen said.
Kagen signed a friend of the court legal brief supporting the lower court decision in a case that challenged the District of Columbia’s gun ban. He also co-sponsored the District’s Personal Protection Act (H.R. 1399), which would restore Second Amendment rights to Washington, D.C. residents.
