A 6-3 SCOTUS decision on a 100-year-old New York gun law could have a 'ripple effect' across America.
struck down a New York law requiring that individuals show"proper cause" in order to get a license to carry a firearm outside a home.New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. et al v. Bruen, Superintendent of New York State Police, et. al.
Koch and Nash argued that as"law-abiding New York residents who both applied for unrestricted licenses to carry a handgun in public based on their generalized interest in self-defense," they were denied unrestricted gun licenses by the state due to allegedly failing to satisfy"proper cause" requirements.
"I cannot agree with the Court's decision to strike New York's law down without allowing for discovery or the development of any evidentiary record, without considering the State's compelling interest in preventing gun violence and protecting the safety of its citizens, and without considering the potentially deadly consequences of its decision," Breyer wrote.
"We will work together to mitigate the risks this decision will create once it is implemented, as we cannot allow New York to become the Wild West," Adams said."One thing is certain: We will do whatever is in our power, using every resource available to ensure that the gains we've seen during this administration are not undone, to make certain New Yorkers are not put in further danger of gun violence.
"The business community will support state legislation to counter the impact of this decision and restore greater control over gun ownership and carrying a concealed weapon," Wylde said in a statement.
