Ever since the Parkland Florida shootings over two weeks ago, the gun control debate has raged on and on. I do understand both sides of the issue. however, there are some things not being said or are misunderstood.
I have spent time reading and rereading the second amendment to the Constitution. Citizens have the right to defend themselves, their families, and their properties. One reason slaves couldn't defend themselves is that they were not allowed to have weapons where they could defend themselves. Citizens do have the right to bear arms. The Constitution never said how weapons one is allowed to have. Yes, folks are allowed to have AK-15s. Personally, I don't why anyone should need one but that's their right.
A second point is that nearly all the shooters were on some sort of anti-depressant medication. Strange that nothing has been said about this. Maybe it's because many of these politicians get money from Big Pharma. The left has it wrong because they defend Big Pharma regarding some of these drugs of which many shouldn't be on the market. Where was the outcry about that?
Third, more people (over 100,000 annually) needlessly in hospitals every year. Medical malpractice is the predominant cause. Where's the outcry about that? I understand the concern the affected students have about this however I would like to see a more balanced and civil discussion about this.
