Italy is no stranger to earthquakes. A 1980 quake in the country's south killed more than 2,500; some 80,000 died in 1908 when an earthquake struck the Sicilian city of Messina. Now, in the aftermath of the latest deadly temblor, come a series of familiar questions. Had all the buildings that collapsed been built up to standards? Will the money that has been promised for relief and rebuilding end up in the right hands? Could anything have been done to mitigate the damage? (See pictures of Italy's deadly earthquake...

...biggest change of all came last year at the Supreme Court, when the justices struck down what had been the strictest gun-control ordinance in the country - the ban on handguns in murder-plagued Washington, D.C. Taking only its second gun-rights case in 70 years, the court established for the first time that the Second Amendment, like the First, enshrines fundamental rights that belong to each citizen, not just the community as a whole.
