So an 18 year old in a small town in Texas bought an automatic killing machine because that's a right he has under an amendment of the American constitution. The latest in a never-ending series of murders caused by Americans with guns.
Certain sections of the US political system defend his right to own such a weapon. It wasn't the weapon's fault, you see, it was the fault of a law-breaking felon. One way way to stop this happening again (and again, and again) is to arm school teachers, they say.
Why should Bert the baker from Smalltown, Mississippi be denied his right to arm himself because a small number of mal-adjusted humans might abuse their own rights?
Apologies for wasting your time if you've read this. It's a pointless debate to enter into because nothing will change and we can expect another mass shooting any day now.
