“I am very pleased the Supreme Court finally recognized that the 2nd Amendment protects an individual right to bear arms. This is an important decision for millions of law-abiding gun owners. Public safety must be ensured without depriving our citizens of their constitutional rights.”

Senator Feingold is one of 320 members of Congress who signed an amicus brief supporting the overturning of the ban.
