New York Attorney General Letitia James expressed approval of the ruling, emphasizing the state’s ongoing commitment to enforcing the majority of the new gun-control law’s provisions. “My office will continue to defend New York’s gun laws and use every tool to protect New Yorkers from senseless gun violence,” James stated. Contrarily, gun rights advocates lauded aspects of the court’s decision that found certain parts of the law potentially unconstitutional, such as the felony charge for carrying a gun on private property open to the public without explicit consent from the property owner.
