Two weeks ago, in my home state of Kentucky, two students were killed and 18 wounded in a school shooting at Marshall County High School. It was the nation’s 11th school shooting of 2018. 11 school shootings in 23 days. That’s one school shooting every other day in this country. And no one cares. No one cared last year about the Las Vegas shooting, and no one is caring now. If you heard about and remember this shooting in Kentucky, good, but I bet you can’t name the other ten that happened this year before it. |

Despite the fact that the author has owned guns and was raised in an environment of traditional American views on the right to bear arms, he invalidates his opinion by stating that the 2A "gives" us the right to bear arms, and by comparing the U.S. to countries whose core principles recognize no such right.
What other countries do is irrelevant, and no human or legal instrument "gave" us the right to bear arms. It is a natural right endowed by our Creator.
Whenever anyone attempts to embark on a 'discussion' on what we can do to reduce "gun violence", if they start from such an obviously flawed premise, the 'discussion' isn't worth having. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Today the taxing power, rather than chattel slavery, is the instrument by which the parasitical element of the population subsists. And that element, which includes politicians, panics at the slightest reduction in the state's power to plunder. Once you start liberating taxpayers, even a little tiny bit, nobody knows where it may end. —Joseph Sobran |
