US Supreme Court reverses New York law limit gun rights
The US Supreme Court has struck down a New York law restricting gun carrying rights.
The Law required residents who want a licence to prove " proper cause" to carry concealed weapons and that they faced " a special or unique" danger.
The 6-3 decision stated the requirement violates the Constitutional right to bear arms.
The ruling jeopardises similar restrictions in other states and expands gun rights.
Justice Clarence Thomas , writing for the six-justice conservative majority on The Court , held that Americans have a right to carry " commonly used" firearms for personal defence.
The Second Amendment right to bear arms is not a " second class" constitutional right subject to greater restrictions " than other Bill of Rights guarantees, " he wrote.
The liberal justices Elena Kagan , Sonia Sotomayor and Stephen Breyer dissented.
