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 |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
