The decision was declared constitutional after the vote of six judges in favor against three against, which eliminates the conditions in force in the state of New York to restrict the access of firearms in public spaces.

At the same time, the president asked citizens to “make their voices heard on the issue of firearms safety. There are lives that depend on it.” In addition, he promised to continue working to reduce armed violence.
The Supreme Court ruling comes almost a month after Salvador Ramos, an 18-year-old boy, murdered 19 children and two teachers with an AR-15 rifle at a school located in Uvalde, in the state of Texas.
