Any idea or movement that looks to reduce liberty in favor of 'security' or 'safety' is generally absurd on all points. Security is no substitute for freedom.
As such, I find it odd that the issue of gun rights seems to get overlooked in this respect. Any principle argument made about, say, drugs could also be made about guns. I concede guns, as potentially lethal, deserve slightly more scrutiny, but not much.
Education makes all the difference in the world. Perhaps schools should teach a type of 'firearm education' class, where gun and gun safety can be taught, understood, and discussed.
Liberty for society shouldn't just be limited to 'speech.' An individual has a right to both liberty and life.
And, obviously, some protection for those rights.
