The ruling comes as Congress is working toward passage of gun legislation following mass shootings in Texas, New York and California.
Justice Clarence Thomas wrote for the majority that the Constitution protects “an individual’s right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home.”

In a dissent joined by his liberal colleagues, Justice Stephen Breyer focused on the toll taken by gun violence. “Since the start of this year alone , there have already been 277 reported mass shootings—an average of more than one per day,” Breyer wrote.
