WASHINGTON, June 26 /Standard Newswire/ -- The following text is a statement the President of the United States of America: 

As a longstanding advocate of the rights of gun owners in America, I applaud the Supreme Court's historic decision today confirming what has always been clear in the Constitution: the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear firearms. 

I also agree with the Supreme Court's conclusion that the D.C. firearm laws violate this fundamental constitutional right.  The District of Columbia should now swiftly move to ensure that its residents' rights under the Second Amendment are fully protected.
