NEW YORK, June 24 ― After their state restrictions on carrying concealed handguns were struck down by the US Supreme Court yesterday, top officials in New York and California said they were working to limit what they see as damage to their efforts to reduce gun violence.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat and former police captain, predicted that more disputes would boil over into violence once it becomes easier to carry a gun around the city of more than 8 million people, the country's most populous. The Supreme Court for the first time ruled that the US Constitution's Second Amendment, which protects the right to “keep and bear Arms” and was ratified in 1791, secured an individual right to carry weapons in public for self-defence.
He said legislation filed in anticipation of the ruling will now be edited to closely hew to the Supreme Courts' guidance on who could be denied a concealed carry permit and where concealed weapons could be banned, such as schools, courthouses and polling places.
