Bruen which questioned whether the state of New York\u2019s denial of petitioners\u2019 applications for concealed-carry licenses for self-defense violated the Second Amendment. The Supreme Court is expected to issue a ruling on this case sometime before the end of June.<\/p>\n<p>New York State Police told the Supreme Court that citizens do not need to carry guns on the subway since there are transit police. Mayor Adams also recently increased police presence on the subway to no avail.<\/p>\n<p>Aidan Johnston, GOA\u2019s Director of Federal Affairs, commented:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIncreased police presence cannot stop every tragedy. Once again, NYC\u2019s gun control demonstrated that it has no impact.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are your own first responder. We need to empower individuals to defend themselves and exercise their right to bear arms\u2014especially in public places.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnly by taking up arms and shooting back can Americans restore public safety and take control out of the hands of violent criminals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>GOA spokesmen are available for interviews. Gun Owners of America, and its sister organization Gun Owners Foundation, are nonprofits dedicated to protecting the right to keep and bear arms without compromise.
