Another terrible school shooting took place in Parkland, Florida last week and unfortunately many politicians and pundits have used the tragedy \u2013 as they often do \u2013 to push their own agenda. Many will use the tragedy to argue that Americans should be prohibited from owning guns. As if anti-gun laws would dissuade a disturbed or violent individual intent on causing harm. Those intent on mass murder don\u2019t obey gun laws.<\/p>\n

For example, why do those calling for more gun control remain silent when armed federal agents raid Amish farms to stop them from selling raw milk? This shows the hypocrisy of those who call for restrictions on private firearms ownership while supporting the use of government violence as a means of controlling our lives.<\/p>\n

Why is no one questioning these medications \u2013 all of which come with labels warning of horrific side effects? Perhaps one reason they are ignored is that the pharmaceutical industry spends billions of dollars lobbying Congress.<\/p>\n

Also, how is it possible that the FBI once again missed so many obvious clues that a violent person intent on causing massive harm…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
