Derby Supports Second Amendment Decision

RENO, NV--Democratic Congressional Candidate Jill Derby today expressed her support for the Supreme Court ruling upholding Second Amendment rights.

"Today's Supreme Court decision sets an important precedent in defense of the Second Amendment," said Derby.  "Sensible gun laws must include respect for our Constitution and for gun ownership as a part of American culture.  This ruling affirms that law-abiding citizens have a right to gun ownership for self-defense in the home and for hunting.  Thanks to today's decision, that right will remain strong through the 21st century."

During her 2006 campaign for Congress, Derby received an A- rating from the National Rifle Association.  The NRA has not yet released 2008 ratings.

Jill Derby, a fourth-generation Nevadan, started life on her family’s Flying Flapjack Ranch in Lovelock and rural Nevada has shaped the values she holds today.  Derby is running for Congress to bring real change to Washington--to fulfill our promises made to veterans, forge a sensible energy plan, ensure access to health care for all Americans, and demand fiscal responsibility in government.  Her website is www.jillderby.com.
