Officials do not believe Monday’s Supreme Court ruling casting doubt on a Chicago area gun ban will have any effect on New York City gun laws.

The justices ruled that the Constitution’s “right to keep and bear arms” applies nationwide as a restraint on the ability of the federal, state and local governments to substantially limit its reach.

The court, by a narrow 5-4 margin, also signaled that less severe restrictions could survive legal challenges.

New York City does not have a gun ban. The city does restrict who can have them.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a statement that the decision makes clear that authorities can keep guns away from criminals and terrorists while also respecting citizens’ constitutional rights.
