New York Gov. Kathy Hochul criticized Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas after the court agreed to consider next week whether it will hear an emergency challenge to the state’s concealed carry gun law that went into effect a year ago.
New York is one of several blue states that critics say is openly defying the Supreme Court’s June 2022 ruling in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen, which struck down a New York gun law and held that there is a constitutional right to carry firearms in public for self-defense.
