On Thursday, June 23, 2022, the United States Supreme Court struck down a century-old New York law that limits those who can carry concealed weapons outside their home. The ruling — which comes as Congress pushes through a bipartisan gun safety bill — is viewed as an expansion of what the Second Amendment protects. While many firearms advocates are cheering the decision, critics claim it will have a negative impact toward curbing gun violence. Following the decision, many in Hollywood and the entertainment world reacted. Jon Stewart, for instance, tweeted, "Perhaps Roe can be salvaged if women reclassify their vaginas as holsters."
