from State Sen. John O. Jones
MT. VERNON, IL - State Sen. John O. Jones (R-Mt. Vernon) offered the following comments after the U.S. Supreme Court’s announcement in the McDonald V. Chicago case. The case sought to clarify the Second Amendment and how it relates to the Chicago gun ban.
“Today is a great day for supporters of the Second Amendment.” Jones said. “This decision essentially reinforces the meaning of the Second Amendment and it extends the Heller Decision to all 50 states. I am pleased the court has struck down the Chicago gun ban. I look forward to working with lawmakers to move concealed-carry bills through the Illinois General Assembly.”
