RECKLESS GUN RULING SHOWS SUPREME COURT’S TOTAL DISREGARD FOR SAVING LIVES

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (June 23, 2022) — Today, the Supreme Court issued its first major guns ruling in over a decade, choosing to protect the gun lobby over people. Take Back the Court released the following statement on behalf of its executive director, Sarah Lipton-Lubet, in response:

How do six hyperpatisian justices on a stolen Supreme Court respond to horrific massacres in Buffalo, Uvalde, and more than 250 other mass shootings this year alone? They make it easier for more people to carry dangerous, concealed weapons. They choose right-wing donors and lobbyists over the public every single time. It is impossible to overstate the utter moral bankruptcy of these six ghouls on the bench.

If we want a judiciary that truly serves the American people, we must expand the Court.
