There is no need to carry a gun in public in the United States. The Supreme Court overturned legislation in New York State declaring that arming in public is a fundamental right of every American citizen.

The U.S. Supreme Court has recognized that carrying guns in public places is a fundamental right of citizens. The Supreme Court overturned a New York state law requiring special defense evidence to obtain a gun license, with six judges voting against it.

The court found that the regulation violated two amendments to the US Constitution. The National Rifle Association (NRA), an influential gun lobby organization, immediately welcomed the decision on Twitter and celebrated the “victory”. On the other hand, New York Governor Kathy Hochul spoke about the “black day”. The court ruling was “absolutely shocking,” he said.

New York State recently banned access to firearms following a racist shooting at a convenience store in Buffalo. Recently, the worst American school massacre in a decade sparked panic in Texas and sparked a debate over loose U.S. gun laws.

Despite the massacre, the NRA held its annual meeting three days later. The organization, which has been controversially influential, has been fighting successfully for decades to tighten gun laws.
