ukraine s president calls the move historic . tonight with the context, former senior advisor to george w bush, ron christie. and former advisor to hillary clinton, amanda renteria. the us supreme court has upheld the right of americans to carry guns in public, striking down a century old restrictions in new york that limited the ability of people to carry weapons. the legislation required residents to prove they had proper cause to have a concealed handgun. the judges ruled that it violated the constitutional right to bear arms. the governor of new york state kathy hochul described the ruling as outrageous. this decision isn tjust reckless, it s reprehensible. it s not what new yorkers want. and we should have the right of determination of what we want to do in terms of our gun laws in our state. the federal government will not have sweeping laws to protect us, then our states and our governors have a moral responsibility to do what we can, and have laws to protect our ci
