RFK Jr. supports the Constitution, including the Second Amendment for gun rights.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nephew of President John F. Kennedy and a presidential contender, recently spoke out in support of the Second Amendment. In an interview with The Epoch Times, Kennedy stated that he believes in upholding the Constitution, which includes the right to bear arms.

“I’m not going to take anybody’s guns away,” he said. “I think at this point in history all that would do is to increase this toxic polarization.”

Kennedy grew up in rural areas and understands the importance of firearms in the culture of those communities. He believes that gun ownership is existential for those who live in remote areas and that it is part of our Constitution, as interpreted by the Supreme Court.

While Kennedy acknowledges the need to end mass shootings, he does not believe that gun confiscation or limitations on gun rights are the solution. Instead, he suggests looking at the role of pharmaceutical products in the rise of mass shootings.

Kennedy has been a vocal critic of the ways that pharmaceutical products have damaged physical and mental health, particularly among the newest generation. He suggests that psychoactive pharmaceutical products may explain the rise in mass shootings, which are most often perpetrated by men under 40.

“We need to look at the role of psychiatric drugs, particularly of SSRIs [anti-depressants] and benzos [benzodiazepine-class drugs],” Kennedy said.

Research into this matter has been stymied by the National Institutes of Health, according to Kennedy. He points out that many of these drugs have side effects that include suicidal and homicidal behavior.

Kennedy suggests that this may explain the disparities in gun violence rates between the United States and Switzerland. Switzerland has more guns per capita than the United States, yet has not had a mass shooting in 21 years, while the U.S. has one every 21 hours.
