to believe. That is your right, but ignoring inconvenient studies does not refute the studies. This is called the "if I close my eyes I will not see the wall, therefore the wall is not there" style of debate.

And your constant repetition of

that a tiny insignificant handful of extremist gun haters differ with the supermajority of Americans on what the second amendment actually means,

might win you points among your fellow gun carriers, but it does not address the fact that Heller v. District of Columbia is an example of legislation by Court and judicial overreach.
