WASHINGTON നിടെ The U.S. Supreme Court has expanded the right to carry guns in public, amid growing gun violence and calls for gun control. It will now be easier for people across the US to carry guns legally, including major cities such as New York, Los Angeles and Boston.
The 6–3 majority verdict was written by Justice Clarence Thomas. The ruling states that the U.S. Constitution gives a citizen the right to carry a firearm outside the home in self-defense. The court also overturned a New York law requiring people to specify their need to obtain a gun license. Similar laws apply to California, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Rhode Island. The Biden administration is in favor of New York law. There has been widespread criticism of the Supreme Court order. Meanwhile, the gun control law is under consideration in the Senate. The bill, which faces strong opposition, is likely to be voted on today.
