Presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama both applauded the Supreme Court ruling that the Second Amendment conveys an individual right to own a gun.
McCain's statement was more focused on the "landmark" aspect of this decision, while Obama said that it reflected the type of compromise he sees in the guns issue, in which we have an individual right to own a gun but "common sense" restrictions can be placed on it.
If you look at past voting records, McCain and Obama are pretty much identical on the issues of guns, so this is not a big surprise.
