Why would anyone need a gun? The police (and courts) will protect you.

"It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood."
--James Madison, Federalist No. 62
We reached that point 200 years ago.
Does one ever notice that when the judges become legislative and pull crap from under their robes that everything goes badly? How wonderfully simple things would be if the judges quit trying to be whatever it is they are trying to be and stuck to the simple text of the laws! Law is flawed so badly. As is done in science, past decisions should be reviewed again and again every time the decision is used to verify that the decision is indeed valid. But the greatest danger to our American way of life comes from the bench and the predilection of judges to use their personal beliefs to create magic law like qualified immunity, a process that violates the 14th amendment's equal protection clause.
