The mayor of New York City and New York's governor voiced alarm on Thursday after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the state's restrictions on carrying concealed handguns in public, saying more people will now be toting firearms and everyone will be less safe.
Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat and a former police captain, predicted that more disputes would boil over into violence once it becomes easier to carry a gun around the city of more than 8 million people, the nation's most populous.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul, who decried the ruling as "very disturbing," said the state will pursue new gun-licensing policies conforming with the ruling. Paige Graves, the New York transit system's general counsel, said the Metropolitan Transportation Authority has begun drafting "appropriate rules to keep dangerous weapons out of our subways, buses and commuter trains."
