U.S. Supreme Court Blocks New York’s Strict Gun Control Law
The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday blocked a New York law that required people to show a special need to carry a concealed handgun in public for self-defense. The 6–3 decision is a major victory for gun rights advocates and is likely to have far-reaching implications for gun laws across the country.
The law in question, which was passed in 1911, required New Yorkers to show “proper cause” to obtain a concealed carry permit. This meant that applicants had to demonstrate that they had a specific need for self-defense, such as being threatened or having been the victim of a crime.
The Supreme Court ruled that the law violated the Second Amendment right to bear arms. In a majority opinion written by Justice Clarence Thomas, the Court said that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home.
The Court’s decision is a major victory for gun rights advocates, who have long argued that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to own and carry firearms for self-defense. The decision is also likely to have far-reaching implications for gun laws across the country.
