Senate Republicans introduced legislation Thursday to codify the Supreme Court's 2022 landmark ruling protecting the Second Amendment right to self-defense, holding that any gun control law must comply with the nation's history dating back to the founding.
, would codify the high court’s ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.
In the opinion, the court said any gun control law must have a historic tradition in order to comply with the Second Amendment.“We have a Bill of Rights and it is not an a la carte menu. Every right as interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court matters,” said Sen. John Kennedy, Louisiana Republican. “With this bill, we are ensuring that the rights affirmed by the Supreme Court are part of the federal code — and preventing a future Supreme Court from reversing this decision. The Respect for the Second Amendment Act will memorialize the holdings in these landmark Supreme Court cases and provide further protection to the Second Amendment,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican.But with Democrats controlling the upper chamber, it’s unlikely the legislation will proceed.
