Supreme Court strikes down restrictive NY gun law

The Supreme Court said Thursday that Americans have a right to carry guns in public, a major expansion of gun rights. The court struck down a New York gun law in a ruling expected to directly impact half a dozen other populous states.

Tom King, President of the plaintiff New York State Rifle and Pistol Association said "What it's saying is, is that if you're a legal, lawful citizen, they can't take your right to keep and bear arms away from you. I mean, I think it's just that simple,".

The justices' 6-3 decision is expected to allow more people to legally carry guns on the streets of the nation's largest cities. It's high court's first major gun decision in more than a decade.
