I understand why upholding the Constitution is necessary for our nation’s success and a well-functioning government. Still, I do not understand how a document written centuries ago can prohibit gun control for public safety.
The worst part is that when the next school year comes around, I know more casualties and more pain and more headlines will arise, because our system allows virtually anyone to own a gun, and despite public sympathy and outrage for the unthinkable choices of the gunman and innocent lives of the students, nothing has changed.
