they seek to weaken those same laws, pushing
1. Concealed carry of firearms in our cities.
2. Open carry in our rural areas.
3. Broadened rights of self defence by gun.
4. ‘Background checks’ allowed to go back only five years.

It's difficult to overstate how devastating Thomas' opinion is for gun control laws. This goes so, so far beyond concealed carry. The Supreme Court has effectively rendered gun restrictions presumptively unconstitutional. This is a revolution in ... Second Amendment law.
Just so everyone knows, these are the states - including Massachusetts - that had one of their gun laws overturned today.

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.

This is a dangerous decision from a court hell bent on pushing a radical ideological agenda and infringing on the rights of states to protect our citizens from being gunned down in our streets, schools, and churches.
