It was a 6-3 vote along ideological lines.

, the firearm homicide rate rose around 35% from 2019 to 2020. “The dangers posed by firearms can take many forms,” Breyer wrote. “And mass shootings are just one part of the problem. Easy access to firearms can also make many other aspects of American life more dangerous.”said Thursday that it “is outrageous that at a moment of national reckoning on gun violence, the Supreme Court has recklessly struck down a New York law that limits those who can carry concealed weapons.

“In response to this ruling, we are closely reviewing our options – including calling a special session of the legislature,” she continued.examination of state-level crime data by Stanford Law School Professor John Donohue found that states saw an estimated 13% to 15% increase in violence crime in the decade after enacting a right-to-carry concealed handgun law.

But gun rights advocates say the decision is the correct interpretation of the Constitution and point out that it allows “shall-issue” laws, which 43 states have already adopted, to stand.

“The Second Amendment protects the natural right to self-defense,” he said. “And at the very least, that means that Americans don’t have to convince a bureaucrat that they are sufficiently threatened to be allowed to bear arms.”

commonsensegun2 They didnt EXPAND anything. They removed an Infringement. Get it right. 1934 was the beginning of ILLEGAL LAWS. The Constitution is a Contract from WE THE PEOPLE to the SERVANTS. Do you agree to defend these rights Yes Then you got the job. No GTFOH. SHALL NOT.

If nothing else at least restrict the access from people when they are not in a stable state of mind..seeking some kind of asylum or on going depression treatment..

The strategy to boost the economy when people are killing themself with guns? This is sad and this country is ridiculous banguns noguns ihateguns

They didn't expand anything. All they did was remove an unconstitutional restriction.

They did not 'expand' gun rights. They simply stopped the government from infringing on them.

Another huge victory for the 2nd ammendment

Self preservation is a human right and should not be exclusive to those with wealth.

The returned what was constitutional ours, all along.

Good! Perhaps now decent people can protect themselves from criminals?

The scenario: sell guns to other countries-make profit, sell guns to citizens and sell guns to criminals-again make profit. There’s something seriously wrong with this picture. Nothing can destroy this great nation but it’s own people.

Making America great again? SupremeCourt GunControl

Could it mean that it will be assumed that everyone is packing 🔫 so “shoot first and ask questions later” will now be the motto of every criminal and policemen? Could it mean road rage will now be taken to a more dangerous level? Grab your popcorn and watch the show!🍿🍿🍿

I bet you want to ban the ar-15. A gun used in less than 3% of all situations where a gun is used to take a life. You sheep are so easily manipulated.

It's not an expansion if you're restoring the rights that were unconstitutionally removed in the 1st place.

To question your headline and if you read the courts ruling. In no way did they expand gun rights. They cullldthe governments authority over something the constitution says it has no authorityover. Should you have a permit to say a dirty word? Some might think so. So constitution

Now it must be up to individual States to protect their citizens with counter legislation. This is a Supreme Court running amuck.We need a Super Supreme Court to counter the present court.

Good! A newborn baby needs a gun too! They will think twice before trying to steal 🍭 candy! Freedom!!

No, they didn't 'expand' them... they kept them from being further unconstitutionally infringed upon. 🙄🤦‍♂️

Gun laws restrict law abiding citizens Gun laws aid criminals

They didn't 'expanded gun rights'. They ruled the current restrictions unconstitutional. Try to be less pretentious and more factual.

That's a lie Time. The 2nd Amendment was always there and it's intent is clear. The statement today was also clear, government actors can not ignore the Constitution. Something some people in the White House, the DOJ, & the House of Representatives seem to ignore..frequently.

the Supreme Court didn't and should not 'expand rights' it rules on the rights we have.

Same rights, NY just decided to trample on them.

Guns used to take lives: 40,000yr Guns used to save lives: 500,000-3,000,000yr

A restoration of a right in the face of an unconstitutional law is not 'an expansion.'

SCOTUS has upheld the Construction. Sensible American citizens are for carrying guns to protect ourselves. The Democrats defund police, let violent thugs out of prison, open borders, make cities unsafe, and want to disarm law-abiding American citizens.

Overturning a leftist limitation on rights is a preservation, not expansion, of rights.

what an America moment, guns used to murder 21 kids, republican solution: BUY MORE PRODUCT

Good guy with a gun saves 500,000 to 3,000,000 people a year Open carry laws saves lives

But when it comes to Pro-birth/Anti-Women laws, it will all go back to 'States Rights'🤔

I see that once again states rights only apply when they go in right wing directions. Abortion regulations can be limited by states but not gun rights.

Keep your guns at home to protect your homes not to walk around with guns, only one who needs guns is police. What the hell wrong with the supreme court ?

Obviously they don't understand gun statistics and data isn't being used. Because the data supports the supreme court's decision. The data actually supports the 2nd amendment.

Can .303 Lee Enfield be concealed?

Maybe then New York should increase the penalty for improper use of firearms, to include severing the trigger finger?

THANK YOUR DADDY TRUMP. 🇺🇲

No they didn’t. Stop lying

🙌🏽 crime at an all time high.. you better be armed

This is great! Now, New Yorkers can better protect themselves.

Righted a wrong. Nothing more. If you ever applied for ccw in ny you would understand the maze after auto denial. It was a corrupt process.

Holy crap. SCOTUS is trying to get everyone killed!!! Where is JusticeOIG and POTUS? Even if we vote, SCOTUS will oppress us! SCOTUSIsCompromised

Expanded? You mean prevented an unconstitutional power grab by the state.

They didn't expand anything. Why is the media so dishonest? It's really bad.

USA you are f*cked. Again.

Lol… salacious headline to basically say The Supreme Court upholds your Constitutional rights

This is great news. Can't wait to carry in this increasingly violent City.

The rights have always been there, NY just infringed on those rights.

That's why it's time for ammunition control. Not in the constitution nor stored with arms.

This is bull shit.

IT MEANS that people with Concealed Carry (which is not easy to get) are what stands between evil and innocents until the police can get there...I live in Western CO. There are not many 'soft targets' on the West side of the Continental Divide...

They want to decrease the surface population!!! They don't care about anyone. It's just a way to show how they can do whatever THEY WANT!!!!!

It didn't expand gun rights, it prevented New York from infringing on thier inalienable rights

Good

The Supreme Court just protected our 2nd Ammendment Rights, that's all.

Woot! Freedom, baby! We have the right to bear arms. We have the right to carry. Keep 'em coming, best SCOTUS in a LONG time!!!!

Gun grabbers taking L's. Get used to it. GunControlisDead
