"NEW YORK — Gov. Kathy Hochul called a Supreme Court ruling striking down a strict New York gun law “frightful in its scope”
"Hochul vowed to quickly call state lawmakers back into session to pass new legislation in response to the decision, which reverses a law that places certain limits on who can carry firearms in public."
"“We are also going to change the permitting process,” she said. “We are also going to create a higher threshold for those who want to receive a concealed carry permit. We are going to require training involved and also that they have specific firearm training, and I believe that we are going to be finding a way to create a system where the default position is for a private business that a concealed carry is not allowed unless they affirmatively offer the right to someone to come in with a concealed carry.”
"“If 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 that protect our citizens,” Hochul said, condemning the “insanity of the gun culture that has now possessed everyone, all the way up even to the Supreme Court.”

With the SCOTUS decision, the gun advocates just might have opened an entire new can of worms they are going to have to deal with now, "We are also going to create a higher threshold for those who want to receive a concealed carry permit."
And whatever New York passes, which they will, the six other States this decision effects, those with lower gun violence rates, will certainly model their legislation
