“NO ONE GETS A BONUS FOR MEETING EXPECTATIONS”
WASHINGTON — Today, the Supreme Court issued an 8-1 decision to uphold a ban on domestic abusers owning guns. Guns Down America Executive Director Hudson Munoz released the following statement:
“Today, the Supreme Court did the bare minimum to keep weapons out of the hands of domestic abusers—just days after they allowed bump stocks back on the market. The timing is not lost on us. Both of these should have been common sense decisions, but today children are waking up to another day in America where there are more guns than people. While the Supreme Court pats themselves on the back for doing the bare minimum to protect women and children who are disproportionately the victims of domestic firearm violence, we know the reality is that we continue to face an epidemic of gun violence where visiting movie theaters, schools, and music festivals still come with a fatal threat. So let’s not get it twisted: No one gets a bonus for meeting expectations.”
