The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a New York gun law enacted more than a century ago that places restrictions on carrying a concealed handgun outside the home -- an opinion marking the widest expansion of gun rights in a decade

.

"Because the State of New York issues public-carry licenses only when an applicant demonstrates a special need for self-defense, we conclude that the State's licensing regime violates the Constitution," Justice Clarence Thomas wrote for the court's 6-3 majority. The opinion changes the framework that lower courts will use going forward as they analyze other gun restrictions, which could include the proposals currently before Congress if they eventually become law.

Thank God Almighty we are free at last..! Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness… This is a great day to be an American! Our great Second Amendment has been reaffirmed. This day is especially important for American women and those who live in high crime areas.

I say let's dissolve the federal government and let each state become their independent union....now if I want to visit them up to how friendly they're are

And now any pregnant woman shot in the belly by a crazed gunman will be prosecuted for an unlawful abortion.

I think it's ironic that we are hearing for calls to a tyrannical government to impose gun laws on us when our forefathers blessed us with the foresight to be wary of that same government and meant for those guns to be used against it when it overstepped onto the people.

That court is definitely NOT supreme. It is corrupt with lying, lawbreaking, republicans. It should NOT be able to make ANY LAW DECISIONS.

😍😍😍🥰

I'd like to thank democrats for illustrating the importance of owning rifles with high capacity magazines to the Supreme Court. What do you think judges were doing while democrat mobs surround their house? They're sitting there with an AR 15 on the coffee table. Thank you

Oh no! People can defend themselves when outside the home! That will really mess things up... lmao

Meanwhile Kavanaugh want's SCOTUS to have it's own army.

So what....? Does the NRA own the SCOTUS too now...?!? endpoliticalscotus

God bless our constitution and our 2nd amendment

Police officers R working there asses off trying 2 get guns off streets & now the Surpreme Courts ruled: Americans can carry guns in public now. Today America is a less safe place. U can carry a gun in Subways, Trains, Plaines, Schools, Concerts Markets & Church, its unbelievable

Start keeping track of the increase in gun-related fatalities in New York from today forward.

What an awful rendering. The U.S. Supreme Court is no longer making professional decisions, only personal. After all the mass shootings in this country and we have to rely on people that should have never been confirmed in the first place.

Thank you President Trump for your US Supreme Court appointments! God bless you and God bless America.

It beyond understanding how educated justices of SCOTUS can equate language of our 18th century constitution to 21st century technology. I would assert framers of the Const' intended the right to bear arms applied to flintlocks. I don't believe they ever anticipated the HP arms

What they're not expecting.. is this will go for minorities too!!! Haaaaaa

Finally a branch of government that seems to know what it’s doing.

Why should an American be concerned about gun carrying? It is like speech or belief in God.

There’s gonna be blood on the hands of those 6 justices. Dumbest decision ever and the worst time

Just what we need, more guns in the streets. WTF

This court is a joke.

He will not faced me in court because he will not be there because he know he is guilty of all these crimes on me

While the majority is looking for some sort of gun control and students are killed willy-nilly this decision comes as sour surprise. My God!
