60% : "We strongly disagree with the court's decision which focused on meritless claims of procedural defects in the passage of the law and included a gross misreading and misapplication of the recent U.S. Supreme Court case interpreting the Second Amendment," John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety, said in reference to the Bruen decision.
