 DEMOCRAT SULLIVAN HAILS SUPREME COURT GUN RULING

 

Joseph P. Sullivan, of Albany, Democratic candidate for Congress, 21st

District, N.Y., hailed today's U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding the

constitutional right of law abiding citizens to keep guns in their homes

for self-defense.

 

Gang related gun violence has escalated rapidly in urban places like

Albany, Schenectady and Troy. It is only a matter of time until this trend

impacts the suburbs of these cities, Sullivan said.

 

It is imperative that law abiding citizens are able to bear arms to protect

themselves, their families, their homes and property, particularly in the

age of terrorism where gangbangers and other anti-social malcontents

are the  likely domestic allies of the foreign terrorists, who seek to destroy

us and our way of life, said Sullivan.

 

Sullivan reminds voters that, while oil and the economy have center stage

now, we must remember that our nation is under an elevated or significant

risk of terror attack(s) warning. When, not if, those attacks, come,  oil won't

be available at any price, and the economy will falter.

 

Having arms will enable law abiding citizens to survive the ensuing urban

chaos and civil disorder which will follow. Sullivan said.
