re: today’s deadly SCOTUS decision

Our communities have had enough. ‌‌ [Ritchie Torres For Congress]( {NAME}, I’m horrified by today’s Supreme Court ruling: “Supreme Court says Constitution protects right to carry a gun outside the home” -CNN The Supreme Court just opened the door for the average person to carry concealed and loaded handguns in public – even in cities as densely populated as New York. This decision has profound implications for the safety of the people of New York, and will only deepen the nationwide crisis of gun violence. Just weeks ago, 10 people were shot and killed in a racist attack at a supermarket in Buffalo. Days later, 21 more lives were lost in an elementary school shooting in Uvalde. {NAME}, I’ve had enough. Our communities have had enough. While today’s decision marks a deadly step backwards for our nation, there is something we can do: Commit to electing leaders who are willing to put everything on the line to end the gun violence epidemic that is raging across our country.
