Governors, lawmakers and attorneys general in states with strict gun-permitting laws are strategizing over how to shore up their restrictions after Thursday’s U.S. Supreme Court decision expanded gun rights in a New York case.

Salesman John Licata demonstrates a competition shooting gun at SP firearms on Thursday, June 23, 2022, in Hempstead, New York. – The Supreme Court’s decision overturning a gun-permitting law in New York has states with robust firearms restrictions scrambling to respond on two fronts — to figure out what concealed-carry measures they might be allowed to impose while also preparing to defend a wide range of other gun control policies.

Courts must now consider only whether a gun control regulation is consistent with the Second Amendment’s actual text and its historical understanding, according to Thursday's ruling. Before that, judges also could consider a state's social justification for passing a gun control law. In California, lawmakers are amending legislation to expand the qualifications people must have to obtain a concealed carry permit and to define the places where guns would be off-limits. The revised bill will get its first hearing Tuesday, and lawmakers hope to send it quickly to Gov. Gavin Newsom, who called Thursday's Supreme Court decision shameful.

“Bottom line is Hawaii is about to become a more dangerous place,” said state Sen. Karl Rhoads, a Democrat. “Hawaii will go from a place where the right to carry in public is the exception to a place where not having the right to carry on the street is an exception. I see no restriction on the type of firearm.”

So it is fine when they want to find away to restrict my rights, but everything we do to preserve or rights is a loophole. Commies

States brace for fight over gun laws after Supreme Court rulingGovernors, lawmakers, and attorneys general in states with strict gun-permitting laws are figuring out how to shore up their restrictions after Thursday's Supreme Court decision expanded gun rights in a New York case. It’s as if these state law makers just now learned that we have a second amendment. 'assault weapon' and 'high capacity magazine' bans were also shown to be unconditional too with the new strict scrutiny rule too The fact remains that restrictions are likely to be unconstitutional since the language of the second amendment is purposely unqualified.

N.J. has among the toughest gun laws in the nation. How will the Supreme Court ruling change that?The case before the high court focused on New York's gun laws, but is expected to impact a host of states, including New Jersey. I live in NJ. I don't have a gun. I don't want a gun. But I think that in NJ only criminals have guns. Any stats about how many black men in Camden were killed with illegal guns? maybe the criminals will think twice now, don't know who may pull out a gun and shoot back to protect themselves Roll them back. Finally freedom for NJ, NY, Illinois law abiding residents
