District of Columbia v. Heller in 2008,
when the Supreme Court ruled 5–4 that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms for self-defense

@cdarwin@c.imNational parks are deteriorating. There’s a fix Congress isn’t making.
The national park system faces a maintenance backlog of $24 billion in crumbling roads, aging water systems, washed-out trails and dilapidated visitor facilities.
