The Supreme Court ruled that Americans do not need a reason for a concealed carry permit, impacting laws in New York and other states. The decision, authored by Justice Clarence Thomas, emphasizes the Second and Fourteenth Amendments' protection of carrying handguns for self-defense outside the home. Justice Stephen Breyer's dissent highlights recent mass shootings. The ruling may increase public safety concerns, especially in New York City, where violence has been rising. Advocates argue it enhances self-defense, while opponents fear more guns will lead to higher violence. Political figures are pushing for more firearm regulations.
