Hey, SCOTUS -- the right to life trumps the right to own a gun

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : The First Amendment, for example, protects the right to shout "fire," but not in a crowded theater in which people could be trampled.
49% : While the Second Amendment recognized a "right to keep and bear arms," for over 200 years that was understood to only protect state armies -- "a well-regulated militia" -- from federal infringement.
49% : On June 26, 2008, a 5-4 majority in District of Columbia v. Heller held that the Second Amendment provides citizens with a right to possess handguns to use in private self-defense.
48% : The Inter-American Court for Human Rights and the United Nations are addressing the human rights implications of U.S. gun policy amid growing concern in the international community.
39% : More significantly, the court promulgated a new test which prohibits gun laws that do not have sufficient historical precedent.
39% : The consequence of not allowing strong gun laws is more deaths and injuries from gunfire.
33% : Governments may not sit idly by while their people are slaughtered, whether that slaughter is caused by roving criminals or loose gun laws.
