Political Factoid
The McConnell-Trump U.S.
"Supreme Court made it
easier for people to carry
handguns in public" when, with
a 6-3 lopsided decision, it
"struck down a century-old
provision in New York that
requires gun owners who want
to carry a handgun outside
their homes to prove that
they have a unique need for
self-protection."
"A week later, state
lawmakers compensated*
by enacting more onerous
restrictions in other areas,
including designating many
public places as gun-free
zones and adding more
permits requirements."
"The New York State
Legislature passed a flurry of
gun restrictions ... banning
firearms in many public places,
including Times Square, and
stiffening permitting requirements"
