He pointed out that the law has won the approval of the Democratic and Republican parties, stressing that implementing the law will save many lives of fathers, children, mothers, and others.

On Friday, the US Supreme Court rules that Americans have the right to carry firearms in public, in a landmark decision that will prevent states from imposing restrictions on the carrying of this type of gun.
The majority judge’s ruling, which comes at a time when the country is experiencing s shocking increase in firearm crimes, overturns a New York law requiring people to prove they need self-defense to obtain a firearm license.
A report recently revealed that the United States witnessed 246 mass shootings in 2022.
The report from the “Gun Violence Archive”, a nonprofit that tracks shootings in the US, said that is the same number of mass shootings in 2021 until June 5.
