New York officials, police and prosecutors decry Supreme Court gun ruling'It is outrageous that at a moment of national reckoning on gun violence, the Supreme Court has recklessly struck down a New York law that limits those who can carry concealed weapons,' New York Gov. Hochul said. I guess that he doesn't know that criminals don't give a shit about gun laws. They carry them all the time. This is for legal gun owners who go through background checks unlike his brothers on the streets. So the law-abiding residents of NY don't deserve the right to protect themselves from the criminals who don't care about gun laws? I think NY needs to just say no to this stupid ruling. It is unconstitutional and violates states rights.
