The U.S. Supreme Court overthrowing a century -old gun control method

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 25th. The Federal Supreme Court passed a ruling on the 23rd to overthrow a law that restricted the people in New York State to restrict the hidden guns outside. This result has extended the right to the owner, which will have a profound impact on the states and places in the United States.

New York State Governor Cathy Hochrr said that it was a "dark day". "As the national reflection of gun violence, New York State restricted those laws that can conceal the guns by the Supreme Court of the Federal Court, which is unbearable."

Distinctive limit

The Supreme Court of the Federation on the same day, with six conservative judges, and three liberal judges opposed such a "clear and clear" voting result, a law violated the US constitution in New York State. The overthrowing law took effect in New York in 1913, and asked the state to legally hide a pistol in public after obtaining the permission.

California, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Russia and other states and Washington Colombia also have similar gun control laws. These states and regions have a population of about a quarter of the country. As a result, the Supreme Court's ruling will restrict the ability of local restrictions on people to carry guns in public places, and the law control law will soon be challenged by judicial challenges.

Of the six conservative judges, the three of the former Republican President Donald Trump were appointed. Conservative Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in the ruling that New York State law enabled "law -abiding citizens with ordinary self -defense demand to exercise (constitution) in the second amendment to hold or carry weapons to self -defense in public places in public places "".

Liberal Justice Stephen Breye wrote in a letter of objections that this ruling will increase the burden on the work of the states to curb the violence of guns.

According to statistics from the US "gun violence file" website, since this year, nearly 21,000 people in the United States have lost their lives due to gun violence, and 279 "large -scale shootings" incidents caused by at least 4 people have caused at least 4 people.

In the context of the rise of gun control in the United States, the Federal Supreme Court made a ruling that was conducive to guns, which was a major setback for groups that supported gun control. Michael Waldman, director of the Blunnan Judicial Research Center of New York University, said in social media that this ruling may become the highest court in American history to "expand the greatest expansion of gun rights."

Dark day

This is the first time that the Federal Supreme Court has made a decision on important cases involved in the second amendment to the Constitution in more than ten years. In 2008, the Federal Supreme Court ruled that American citizens had the right to hold guns at home for self -defense.

Regarding the Federal Supreme Court ruled that the century -old gun control method of New York State was unconstitutional, President Biden rebuked this move that we were "troubled by common sense and constitution. He said that American society must strengthen instead of reducing action to protect fellow citizens. "I call on all Americans to speak on safety issues involving guns."

California Governor Gavin Newer also issued a post on social media, criticizing the Federal Supreme Court's ruling "shame" and "danger", "infringing the right to protect citizens from the streets, schools, and churches." California Democrats are also preparing to promote as much as possible gun -controlling legislation as possible.

The supporters of the gun control are worried that the Federal Supreme Court's decision on the day will lead to more guns on the street, push up the violent crime rate, and weaken existing gun control measures, such as limiting those who are in dangerous to hold the guns and expand the buyer to buyers. Criminal background review, restricting the sale of "ghost guns" that use online purchases and assembly and difficulty tracking.

In addition, this ruling also faces judicial challenges that prohibit the laws that are prohibited from carrying guns in sensitive places such as airports, hospitals, and schools. Agence France -Presse reports that half of the 50 states in the United States allow the public to carry guns in public without approval; the other half is limited to a certain degree of restrictions.

The Associated Press euphemistically pointed out in the report that the Federal Supreme Court's ruling is inconsistent with the U.S. public opinion to some extent. When the presidential election voted in 2020, about half of the voters said that the law of the United States should be stricter. Since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, the number of violence in the United States has reached a new high, and the purchase of guns has also been on the rise. (Hu Ruoyu)
