Who will save us from the bad people? or Why I own a gun.

Jessica Gonzales

Many people are completely unaware of a ruling handed down by the United States Supreme Court in the case of Castle Rock v. Gonzales on June 27, 2005.

For many, following Constitutional law is about as fun as watching paint dry; but I think that the ruling, and its implication for personal safety in the US, do a great deal to challenge the ideas of safety and security in a civilized society.

We have done a great deal in the name of safety and security in our country.

We have come a long way since the days of the Wild West. Right?

We have police departments, dead bolts on our doors, and sophisticated alarm systems to monitor our home and call the police if anything bad happens.
