I can accept that Bruen's arguments have a certain internal logic. What I don't understand is how we have decided weigh the "right" of having guns vs the "right" to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. According to the Declaration of Independence, the latter is what the government is for, and everything else -- even and especially the bill of rights -- is an implementation decision designed too further those aims. Given that the US 22x more per capita gun deaths than the EU, perhaps we missed the mark. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like gun proliferation is in practice harmful to life.
