The US Supreme Court has ruled that American citizens have a right to bearing of arms in public.
In a landmark judgement on Thursday, the court said carrying of firearms is the fundamental rights of the people, a decision that came just weeks after another deadly school shooting.
The 6-3 ruling strikes down a New York law that required a person to prove they had legitimate self-defense needs to receive a gun permit and will prevent states from restricting people carrying guns.
Despite a growing call for limits on firearms after two mass shootings in May stunned the country, the court sided with advocates who said the US Constitution guarantees the right to own and carry guns.
