Sen. John McCain on DC v. Heller

Sen. John McCain's campaign today released this statement on the DC gun rights case I spoke of earlier:
ARLINGTON, VA -- U.S. Senator John McCain today issued the following statement on District of Columbia v. Heller:

"Today, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on District of Columbia v. Heller, a landmark case for all Americans who believe as I do that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to keep and bear arms. I am proud to have joined in an amicus brief to the Court calling for a ruling in keeping with the clear intent of our Founding Fathers, which ensures the Second Amendment rights of the residents of District of Columbia are reaffirmed."
Sens. Clinton and Obama, by their absence on the pro-freedom amicus brief, both support the DC gun ban.

UPDATE: Courtesy of SCOTUSblog, here is their live-blogging and final analysis.
