The US supreme court just made America a more dangerous, violent place | Jill Filipovic

This nihilistic decision will propel the US further toward mass gun violence and a culture of death

The conservative justices of the US supreme court just made America an even more dangerous, even more violent place.

The decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn, Inc v Bruen took on a simple and commonsense New York state law requiring individuals to have a license in order to own a gun, and requiring people who want to carry a concealed pistol or revolver out in public to demonstrate a particular need to be toting a secret gun around. That law has been on the books in New York since the early 1900s.
