NEW YORK – Americans visiting a public park shared their reactions to the Supreme Court, which overturned a law in New York that restricts the ability of people to carry concealed firearms in public places.
“I think today’s Supreme Court ruling is dangerous,” Brian, a New Yorker, told Fox News at High Line Park in New York City. “It will probably drop a lot more weapons on the street, which are probably already there.
“I don’t want a gun and I don’t want someone I know to have a gun.”
Lionel of Chicago disagreed.

The Supreme Court on Thursday overturned a New York state law that requires anyone who wants to carry concealed weapons in a public place to show that there is a “right reason” to show that there is a specific need.
The judges in decision 6-3 said the law violated the Second Amendment.
“It will just add a lot more to the numbers,” Brian said. “We don’t know who’s carrying a weapon right now. It’s scary.”
Mila, New York, said the Supreme Court’s decision was “shameful.”
“We don’t want their decisions,” she told Fox News. “The illegality of not being able to have an abortion, but being able to be exposed to guns anywhere? Terrible.”

President Biden signed on Saturday the broadest arms control legislation in three decades. The bipartisan bill expands the scrutiny of the past and gives states incentives to pass laws that allow the removal of firearms from people who could pose a threat to themselves or others.
“Enough enough. I mean those kids in Parkland, and now Uwalde, “said Cathy of New York, citing two mass shootings.
“Every other day you hear about mass shootings.”
One man said he had “mixed feelings” about repealing the New York law.

“I don’t think weapons are the problem in themselves. “People are the ones who own them,” he said. “I would say this is an invitation for more aggressive behavior.
“If you’re going to disarm people, disarm the police.”
Glenn, a New Yorker, added: “I don’t think the answer is more weapons.”
