| New York Governor Kathy Hochhol called the decision a "dark day" |
After two shootings in the same week in the United States, the US Supreme Court has ruled that "citizens have a fundamental right to carry weapons in public places."
The ruling overturns a century-old New York law that required a person to prove that he or she really needed a firearms license before he or she could obtain a firearms license.
Is being criticized in the United States, saying it would increase the number of murders.
US President Joe Biden has condemned the decision, saying it was "irrational and unconstitutional, and would put us all in trouble."
"It's a shame that voices are being raised against violence at gunpoint and the Supreme Court has overturned the New York law," he said.
The same law was in force in other states and now it will be difficult for them to stop people from carrying weapons in public places.
"The state of New York only issues firearms licenses to those who desperately need them to defend themselves," Supreme Court Judge Clarence Thomas wrote in the ruling.
We have concluded that the state violates the Constitution.
”The past month has seen an increase in shootings in the United States.
On May 15, an 18-year-old man opened fire on a market in Buffalo, New York.
At least 10 people have been killed. According to US news agency AP, police have said that 'before surrendering to the authorities, an armed man, Patton Gendon, killed 11 black civilians.'
