    In the end, it doesn’t really matter what any state court thinks, you know it’s going to the Supremes.

      You mean SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States). This is also a Supreme Court, but of a single state.

        What would they do if someone they care about was gunned down? How many more shootings must there be until we find out?

          Honestly? They’d want to kill the murderer. For people with principled pro-gun stances the answer to the “how many x have to get shot” is all of them. All of x have to get shot. Because the argument is about a right to self defense and very few rights come without potential downsides or externalities of some sort.
