ON THE SURPREME COURT'S DECISION TO UPHOLD THE SECOND AMENDMENT:

“I have said consistently that the Second Amendment is an individual right, and that was the essential decision that the Supreme Court came down on.”

“The DC law according to the Supreme Court went too far and now the key is going to be to come together and say people do have an individual right and there's nothing wrong with common sense gun laws, background checks, keeping guns out of the hands of criminals, those who are mentally ill, and creating what I think is a common sense belief among people that we can both uphold our traditions with respect to firearms and prevent the senseless killings that we see on the streets of so many American cities.

ON NORTH KOREA'S DECLARATION FROM THIS MORNING:
“I have not yet had a chance to review the declarations made by North Korea and I think it's important for Congress to review it before Congress lifts the sanctions, but assuming that North Korea has fully disclosed it's plutonium operations, it's enriched uranium operations as well as some of the issues surrounding proliferation that I think are so important, and it follows through on the additional steps that are already outlined in the agreement, then I think it's a positive development.”

“It demonstrates what can be accomplished when we have direct diplomacy with our adversaries.”

ON THE ECONOMY:
“The Fed needs help from Congress and the President.”

ON A.G. LAUGHLEY'S CALL FOR THE CAMPAIGNS TO SOFTEN THEIR RHETORIC:
“We've had about as positive a Presidential campaign that we've seen in maybe a generation.”
