Well, the Supreme Court is >on a roll, isn’t it? (More Info)

This decision, at least, didn’t surprise me. On some level, I even think it’s the right decision. Certainly, if the government is required to completely protect every individual, and it can be held responsible for any failures to do so, we’re welcoming a police state. The problem is, the government that’s now saying local governments have no requirement to protect us is also the government that’s previously said that those same local governments can refuse to allow us to protect ourselves.

Not only can the local government refuse to let you protect yourself by making it nigh-impossible to grant a carry permit (Never mind that the only legal permit you should ever need is a copy of the Second Amendment), they don’t have to protect you or your family even if they’ve issued a restraining order and have been informed that it’s been broken.

The Supreme Court is doing a bang up job of ruining this country, isn’t it? Not only are they systematically destroying the rights of the citizenry, they’re simultaneously denying the added responsibility that this power-grab should put on the government.
