Rep. Mike Coffman (R - Aurora) issued the following statement today praising the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in McDonald v. Chicago whereby it extended the right to keep and bear arms to all fifty states:
"Today's ruling by the Supreme Court reaffirms that our ability as Americans to keep and bear arms is a fundamental right guaranteed under the Constitution. It also reaffirms that states cannot legislatively deny this right given under the constitution. As a strong supporter of 2nd Amendment rights, I am pleased the Supreme Court made this basic and important decision."
