Justice Alito, in his concurring statement, exposes the priorities of the left, deftly showing that they place their ideology of disarming the people above the safety and well being of those same people.

The government will never be able to protect all of the people all of the time. Some people are bigger, stronger, and more physically powerful than others and too often choose to take advantage of their superior power as did Jaime Caetano's abusive former boyfriend. Without some way to equalize their power, the less powerful will not be safe, and waiting for the police to arrive is an option that could cost them their life. But merely having a weapon such as a stun gun or a firearm can deter the aggressor from attacking. This is in fact how the vast majority of firearms are used – as a deterrent, not as a weapon to kill. The Second Amendment protects this right and we should elect and confirm representatives and judges that understand this rather than those who dream of banning guns.
