"This is a disappointment and a dark day of wise gun control in this country," Brown told ABC News Linsey Davis in an interview with ABC News Live Prime.
The ruling came after 10 African-Americans were shot in a racially motivated mass shooting at a tops supermarket in Buffalo, New York on May 14, and elsewhere in the country. It took place a few weeks after many mass shootings. Mr Brown added that the ruling only encourages gun violence in the country and is another hurdle to law enforcement.
"I'm concerned about law enforcement. Who are they if more weapons are being carried in hidden ways in Buffalo, New York, and other communities across the country? I don't know if it's legally permitted to carry weapons. Law enforcement jobs will be more difficult. "

Brown Other New York legislators praise the decision while he criticizes the decision.
"Today's Supreme Court ruling prohibits citizens who support constitutional rights from holding and bearing weapons, New York State Parliamentarian Elise Stephanik said the decision was made. In a statement shortly after it was released, New York State Parliamentarian Elise Stephanik correctly declared New York's shameful attempt to shred the second amendment to the unconstitutional law. Wrong. "
"Too many innocent Americans are dying from gun violence. We don't want to take away the rights of responsible gun owners. We certainly do second. I don't want to violate the amendments, but I do. There is a wise gun reform that does not violate the rights of responsible gun owners and at the same time keeps the average innocent American safe from unnecessary gun violence. Makes sense. "

This The ruling could follow the passage of a historic bipartisan gun control bill in Congress, with support from 15 Senate Republicans, including Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell.
"The timing of this ruling is very difficult, especially if you have a bipartisan U.S. Senator group who has been wisely advancing gun control after years of inaction in Congress. Even more so, "Brown said.
A law recently passed in Uvalde, Texas, after several mass shootings, is the first time Congress has worked on gun control in nearly 30 years.
"Until tragedy like a mass shooting, a domestic terrorist act in Buffalo on May 14, and other mass shootings after that, finally caused Congress to take some action. This ruling is issued by the US Supreme Court when there is further movement in Congress on wise mass shootings. It's a disappointment, "Brown said.
