The America First Party said in a statement that the “Supreme Court’s recent decision in District of Columbia vs. Heller is a welcome respite from the deluge of judicial activism seen from courts in recent times. We applaud the court for recognizing what should have been obvious to any impartial reader, that the Second Amendment right is an individual right of citizens to possess and use arms in their defense, and that this right preexisted the amendment itself. Sadly, the terrible condition of our highest court was also evident in the dissent of four justices.”
National Chairman Jonathan Hill said, “It is great to see the arrogance of D.C. officials rebutted. Heller also shows that there is still some residual respect for law in Washington, and that the basic right to legitimate self-defense, a natural right of all mankind, is unlikely to be completely disregarded in the near-term. This is a major victory. However, the opposition of four justices is also a very bad sign.”
