Members
of the New York state Senate and Assembly stood in unison Thursday,
saying they won’t stand for the Supreme Court’s decision on New York’s gun law Thursday.
The
Supreme Court’s decision makes it so that New Yorkers no longer need to
demonstrate a need to get a license to carry a concealed gun in public. The
highest court says the New York law violated the second amendment.
Elected
officials outside City Hall on Thursday the court chose guns over the lives of
our children, calling the decision a disgrace in the wake of several mass
shootings, from Buffalo to Uvalde.
“Now
if anyone can get a gun, we’re going to be in big trouble,” said state Sen. Robert
Jackson.
The
caucus says they plan to take action to strengthen active laws that
could include safe spaces, property rights, and the permit application process.
