NHGOP STATEMENT ON SUPREME COURT RULING

CONCORD –   Fergus Cullen, Chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party, made the following statement today:

“We join freedom-loving people everywhere in welcoming the Supreme Court’s decision this morning striking down the D.C. gun ban. With Barack Obama visiting New Hampshire tomorrow, I wonder how he will explain his support for this unconstitutional ban. Obama’s support for the D.C. gun ban is just part of a long record of anti-gun positions that show a profound misunderstanding of the Second Amendment. Obama should spend less time labeling gun owners as bitter, and more time reading the Constitution.”

JEB BRADLEY COMMENTS ON SUPREME COURT RULING REGARDING THE 2ND AMENDMENT

Wolfeboro, NH  “The Supreme Court Ruling today solidifies what most Americans already knew…that our founders, in creating the Constitution and the foundation for this nation, believed in individual rights, including the right to protect oneself. The 2nd Amendment of the Constitution is clear: law abiding Americans have the right to keep and bear arms. In their wisdom, our founders understood that government, if left with too much control, would remove the rights of the individual. Therefore the 2nd Amendment protects individual liberties from being infringed upon. Today’s ruling by the Supreme Court confirms our rights as Americans guaranteed by our Constitution.

New Hampshire congressional candidates are praising the U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing individuals the right to own handguns.

The ruling also provided one candidate with an opportunity to criticize two of his rivals.
