case depending on how the supreme court rules could have an incredible impact on the american people. talk more. well, we just heard eric adams say that people in new york and the eight or nine other states that would be impacted by this ruling are not running out and saying we want more guns. people are saying we want safety, we want to be able to like any city or state in this country should be able to control the flow of weapons reasonably within our cities or states. that s what democracy stands for. people get it decide for their own locales. what is at stake in this case really is a 1913 gun law, it has been on the record as you say for over a century, which basically says not everyone can carry a gun into a subway, into a bar, into central park, into times square on new year s eve, that basically the city determines who gets to carry a weapon based on the need of that
