By The FirstThe Supreme Court voted 6-3 Thursday to strike-down a century-old gun law in New York State that allowed the local government to reject a citizen’s conceal carry permit simply for self-defense.
Here are the craziest responses from Twitter.
It has become necessary to dissolve the Supreme Court of the United States.

The first step is for a state the "court" has now forced guns upon, to ignore this ruling.
Great. You're a court? Why and how do think you can enforce your rulings?#IgnoreTheCourt
It is outrageous that at a moment of national reckoning on gun violence, the Supreme Court has recklessly struck down a New York law that limits those who can carry concealed weapons.

Today, we'll finally take steps to loosen the gun lobby’s grip and pass a law that'll save lives
And we'll keep working—More must be done to fight gun violence pic.twitter.com/wO3JGnP5bk
I’m sorry but the idea that the constitution *requires* universal concealed carry is plainly insane.

Don’t tell me this SCOTUS isn’t completely partisan. Shame, shame, SHAME on the “conservative” members of this ridiculous, laughable court. #SCOTUSisaJoke pic.twitter.com/tQLQDWPYwa

This is a dangerous decision from a court hell bent on pushing a radical ideological agenda and infringing on the rights of states to protect our citizens from being gunned down in our streets, schools, and churches.
Shameful.
