ABC News special report: The Supreme Court said Thursday that Americans have a right to carry guns in public, a major expansion of gun rights.Nebraska lawmakers passed a bill Wednesday to allow people to carry concealed guns in the state without a permit, just as national attention has ramped up over gun violence in the wake of several mass shootings, including the killing last month of six people at a Tennessee school.
Nebraska Sen. Tom Brewer, of Gordon, after lawmakers passed his bill to allow people to carry permitless concealed guns in the state, Lincoln, Neb., Wednesday, April 19, 2023. But Brewer, an Army combat veteran who was shot several times during a firefight with the Taliban in 2003, also said he understood that the subject of gun regulation "is not an easy thing."
The bill's passage drew an emotional response from gun control advocates who filled the north balcony of the legislative chamber for Wednesday's final debate. One woman stood and yelled "Shame!" several times at lawmakers until she was escorted out by security.
