Also, and don’t ask me to quote the case, year, etc, but decades ago there was a SCOTUS ruling stating that the police were not responsible to keep individual citizens safe, but just society at large. *WE* are each responsible for our own protection, and as a result, I am an uncompromising 2A supporter.
