New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport released the following statement in response to the Supreme Court’s decision in Wolford v. Lopez today:

“Today’s decision in Wolford v. Lopez is the Supreme Court’s latest dangerous blow to public safety. This badly mistaken decision will make it harder for businesses open to the public to exclude guns from their property, putting additional burdens on them to keep their patrons safe. That outcome doesn’t make anyone safer.  While the Supreme Court seems intent on making it harder for states to prevent gun violence, we won’t back down from our efforts to keep the public safe. I am proud that our office’s leadership and the extraordinary coordination and enforcement efforts of New Jersey law enforcement have resulted in record-low levels of gun violence in New Jersey, and we will continue to use every tool we have to combat the gun violence epidemic." – AG Davenport
