The US Supreme Court has struck down a New York law restricting gun-carrying rights, in its most important judgement on guns in over a decade.
It expands gun rights amid a fierce national debate over the issue.
The decision, which jeopardises similar regulations in states like California and New Jersey, is expected to allow more people to carry guns legally.
About a quarter of Americans live in states that could be affected if their own rules are challenged

The court found that a New York law requiring residents to prove "proper cause" to carry concealed firearms in public violates the US Constitution.
Justice Clarence Thomas, writing on behalf of the six conservative judges who make up the court's majority, ruled that Americans have a right to carry "commonly used" firearms in public for personal defense.

My wife dealt with this BS while applying for her permit in NJ

Basically they ask why you want a permit to carry and use that to deny your permit.

Why do you want a permit to carry ?

Because it’s my f***ing right to do so !

More and more states if you can buy it you can carry it.

I want to see what this does with the whole pistol permit fiasco in NY. Most states at least let you buy a pistol, without the permit nonsense. In NY, it's months of a convoluted process just to get permission.

Dems will most likely do what they usually do when they dont like the law
