It's not clear to me how the literal-meaning-of-the-constitution-at-the-time-it-was-written Supreme Court could extend the 2nd amendment to basic self-defence. I mean it literally starts with a preamble explaining exactly why it is required, i.e. for well-regulated militia.

I read on Twitter that the U.S. averages a little over 10 mass shootings per week, so this is about par for the course. Two places you expect to be absolutely safe are schools and hospitals; not so.
