The Supreme Court's Indifference To The Gun Epidemic — Letters that should have been in the new york times

6.23.22

To the editor:

The conservative justices on the Supreme Court choose to be willfully blind in ruling in favor of a more expansive interpretation of the Second Amendment (6.23.22 Supreme Court strikes down New York law limiting guns in public.). We have more guns than people in this country. There is an undeniable epidemic of gun violence with innocent lives lost to homicide and suicide every day. Do the justices consider how this ruling will impact this epidemic? Do they care? Does the right to bear arms in public trump the right to life?
