Sen. Jim Inhofe on Wednesday lauded the defeat of gun-control legislation in the Senate — saying “the Second Amendment prevailed today.”
“Many efforts were made today to address gun violence, but a majority of the restrictions presented were all predicated on one assumption: that somehow we think that the criminal element will single out this one law to comply with,” the Oklahoma Republican said in a statement.
“Instead, amendments such as the one to ban assault weapons and another to expand the gun-background check system would have only further restricted firearms for law-abiding Oklahomans.
