The Supreme Court voted 6-3 Thursday to strike-down a century-old gun law in New York State that allowed the local government to reject a citizen’s conceal carry permit simply for self-defense.
Here are the craziest responses from Twitter.
It has become necessary to dissolve the Supreme Court of the United States.
The first step is for a state the „court“ has now forced guns upon, to ignore this ruling.
Great. You’re a court? Why and how do think you can enforce your rulings?#IgnoreTheCourt

It is outrageous that at a moment of national reckoning on gun violence, the Supreme Court has recklessly struck down a New York law that limits those who can carry concealed weapons.

As the extremist Roberts Court strikes down gun-safety measures—it’s urgent for us to act at every level of government
Today, we’ll finally take steps to loosen the gun lobby’s grip and pass a law that’ll save lives
And we’ll keep working—More must be done to fight gun violence pic.twitter.com/wO3JGnP5bk

I’m sorry but the idea that the constitution *requires* universal concealed carry is plainly insane.

.@chicagosmayor Lightfoot: “The fact that the court is coming down with this decision feels tone deaf and I — I worry that it undermines the legitimacy of the court, particularly given the leaked draft of the Roe decision.” pic.twitter.com/Z77wRABaxx

A dark day in America.
This is a dangerous decision from a court hell bent on pushing a radical ideological agenda and infringing on the rights of states to protect our citizens from being gunned down in our streets, schools, and churches.
Shameful.
