New York lawmakers have approved a sweeping overhaul of the state’s handgun licensing rules in response to last month’s U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruling that struck down previous restrictions.
When the SCOTUS struck down a state law requiring proof of self-defence to obtain a concealed carry gun permit, New York lawmakers felt that the mostly-conservative legal body went too far.
The court in its ruling said that all gun regulations must have historic roots, and New York leaders are firing back.
Global’s Jennifer Johnson looks at what the new rules mean for New Yorkers and how the state’s governor, Kathy Hochul, is vowing to fight back against other controversial decisions made by America’s highest court.

This is what the Court wanted, for individual legislatures to write laws that affect their state's unique needs, rather than a blanket law for the entire country. It's what we here in Canada call a 'patchwork' of laws that successive governments have been scared of, as if Alberta has different needs than Nova Scotia (which I imagine it does)
True and profound love can often be found in
the simplest of moments.
Interpersonal relationships are all about
heart to heart interactions.
However, once separated,
our hearts will become estranged.
Bottom line is new york believes rights are only for the rich and powerful.
Kinnard Blache 🖕🖕trading strategies are top notch 🖕. Despite the dip in crypto I still smile at my Portfolio weekly!
The criminals just got stronger
It means crime rate will drop and criminals will die.
If someone is intent on murder and violence, a trivial law denying concealed carry will not hinder them in any way at all.
It only greatly reduces the number of people who can stop them so they don't kill as many people.
What STOPS a shooter?
A gun.
It means criminals win again.

Similar to Trudeau, Biden only wants criminals to have guns.
Abortion is not a constitutional right in the US. This is contested but abortion is not named anywhere in the constitution.
The right to bare arms shell not be infringed…. This is misleading 100 percent… ya New York has a lot of shooting but how many are registered firearms
Will you surrender your right to armed guards you commie hypocrite? You know, the ones paid for by the same people you want to leave defenseless.
when will the brainlets who vote for these criminals, who turn cities into cesspools, understand criminals dont follow the law
Nothing she can do NY’ers should ignore any state gun laws “shall not be infringed”
More people in New York will not be able to defend themselves from criminals
Gregory Ilinovich loves murdering people with illegal guns – so he's a bit concerned about all these new gun regulations. Luckily, he tends not to follow laws anyway.
Thoughts and positive vibes to Gregory and his family during these ever-changing times. Signed: "Your local Democratic Socialists Party."
Those are really nice guns. News on gun violence sucks.
Safety training classes etc,. are needed.
Get rid of gangs !! Gun problem mostly solved!! Now start a random vetting of gun owners!! Take guns from the nutcases
They can't "fire back". There sensitive places and social media are clearly unconstitutional and will be struck down in courts. Kathy Hochul needs to be sued for infringing on citizens Second Amendment rights.
They can't ban guns from public trans, that's not fair to people who depend on public trans for transportation and don't own cars. This has gone overboard. These new gun laws need to be challenged immediately.
Vote these morons out
These guns laws do nothing for criminals and make unlawful laws for gun owners that do so legally
Clearly By The Comments Some Of You CANADIANS Don't Know What Stand Your Ground Means
CCW Don't Mean You Can Shoot Someone For Staring At You On The Subway
Many more criminals are killed or wounded each year by armed citizens than by the police; this proves that owning a gun is possibly the most effective way to protect oneself from crime. Protection of self, of one's loved ones, of one's home and community is the root of the American tradition of gun ownership.
Supreme Courts ruling is a setback….related to Americans 2nd Amendment rights. Wait WUT?
Not much actually. As usual the State leadership rammed through a bevy of poorly formed concepts which invariably will see litigation – and likely overturning. The Dems do not really want the problem to be solved. They want "the issue". Were it otherwise they would have offered reasonable actions which reflected the problem instead of an ideological "wish list" which creates a host of jurisdictional problems. Upstate many counties will not likely enforce these new rules seeing them as not workable.
Madam Governor it’s not right! It never was and never will be!
So they will allow people to kill their unborn babies, but won't allow me to carry a gun legally to protect myself? This country is going to hell.
Your city was already dangerous, law abiding citizens carrying legally owned self defense weapons, wont change nothing in your rat infested city. Theres an abundance of cruminals running amongst you that you keep arresting and letting back out of jail to commit more crimes.
People with gun licenses don’t hurt unlawfully hurt people….People without it hurt people. Allowing licensed firearms only protects the people who was unprotected before. Those committing violent acts and crimes don’t care about gun laws if anyone noticed
I'm still saving up for my handgun. NYC is complete garbage pile with bold criminals. You can't prohibit law abiding dwellers from carrying.
Doesn’t make sense. This is just opening doors to illegal guns to illegally come and do what ever they want and run off while lawful owners if brought to places that prohibits it, Will be prosecuted even in self defense. Seems like someone behind the scenes had this all planned out and wants it to happen….
Judging my NYC… got doing NOTHING to protect your constituents from gun violence Hochul… you refuse to even look at evidence that lawful owners are not the ones causing 80% of the violence!
Adams is such a tool he was the same man prior to being elected that said he would not use security because he would be carrying his own weapon
