US Supreme Court on Gun Culture
US SUpreme Court on Gun Culture: After the incident of gun firing in America, there were many demonstrations in America against it. Even President Joe Biden himself expressed his dismay at such incidents. Because on the incidents of gun firing, the demand for a ban on carrying a gun intensified. Meanwhile, the new order given by the US Supreme Court is shocking. The Supreme Court has said in its order that having a gun is a fundamental right. In this way, they have repealed the New York Gun Act enacted a century ago. At a time when gun culture was fueling violence, that too by young school children. So this order is shocking. This is the reason why US President Biden is said to be angry with the court’s decision.
Can’t ban carrying guns: Supreme Court
Meanwhile, in the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen case, the US Supreme Court said – Americans cannot be barred from carrying guns. Nor can any term be added to it. Carrying a gun is a fundamental right of Americans.
Gun law was more than a century old
Meanwhile, the US Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a New York gun law enacted more than a century ago. Under that law, people could not carry a weapon outside the house without a license. This is a big system in terms of gun rights. The court judges’ decision came on the basis of a 6-3 vote division.
The judge said this in his order
In this regard, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote, ‘New York issues a license to carry a gun in public to applicants who ask permission to do so in self-defense. This licensing system of the state violates the constitution. The court order comes at a time when Congress is actively working on weapons legislation following the recent mass shootings in Texas, New York and California.
After the order, people will be able to carry handguns legally in cities
In this way, this is the first time that the court has ordered about the constitutional right to have a personal gun, in which he said that this right to possess a gun also allows the carrying of weapons in public places. After this decision, it is now clear that people will be able to carry handguns legally on the streets of America’s big cities or other major places. These include big cities like New York, Los Angeles and Boston. This is the first Supreme Court decision on gun culture in more than a decade.
President Biden angry at Supreme Court order
President Joe Biden has objections to this decision of the Supreme Court. They are angry and they said that this is a decision taken without common sense. Biden wanted to end gun culture. He was of the opinion that either the gun culture should end or the age of buying a gun should be increased from 18 years to 21 years.
