“I rise today to introduce the Second Amendment Enforcement Act of 2010 with Senators McCain, Begich, Bennett, Brownback, Burr, Chambliss, Graham, Hatch and Wicker to codify the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision District of Columbia v. Heller, which ruled Washington, DC's, decades-old ban on firearms unconstitutional. This bill will repeal the District of Columbia's restrictions on semiautomatic firearms, current gun storage law and complicated firearms registration system. It will ensure that law-abiding persons in Washington, DC, are able to fully exercise their Second Amendment rights just like all other Americans. My cosponsors and I, all signers of the bipartisan friend-of-the-court brief for District of Columbia v. Heller, urging the Court to support gun rights, think this is a very important bill and we welcome our colleagues' support.”
