Rep. Tom Cole (OK-04) today issued the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of gun rights in McDonald v. Chicago:
"The Constitution is crystal clear that citizens have the right to bear arms. This decision affirms that no government, at any level, has the authority to deny the rights of Americans to own guns. Today's ruling further reinforces the importance of appointing Supreme Court justices who will respect the fundamental rights plainly set forth in our Constitution."
