The United States is not ready to turn its back on its guns.
The Supreme Court on Thursday invalidated a New York state gun law, enshrining the right of Americans to leave their homes armed.
This decision, taken by a majority of six out of nine judges, all conservatives, comes as the country is still reeling from a series of deadly shootings, one of which, on May 24, killed 21 people in a primary school. from Texas.
The NRA, the powerful arms lobby, hailed a "victory" after the Supreme Court ruling.
“The NRA wins a victory!
exclaimed the National Rifle Association on Twitter, pointing out that the high court had declared “unconstitutional” the “restrictions” on the carrying of weapons provided for by a law of the State of New York.
On the other hand, the governor of New York lamented a "dark day".
