WATCH: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Gives A Surprising Response On The Democrats' Push For Gun Control - 'I'm A Constitutional Absolutist'

During his Monday Twitter Space, presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (D-MA) went against the consensus of the Democrats and advocated against gun control and instead voiced his belief in pushing for research into the relationship between antidepressants and antipsychotics and school shootings.

Kennedy made his opinion very clear in the Twitter Space, saying extremely plainly that “I’m not going to take away anybody’s guns.”

“I don’t think it’s the right thing now because it will just polarize our country. I’ve lived in rural areas of this country. I know how integrated gun culture is in those areas and how important it is to them in the way they view the Constitution," he said. "I also know we’re living in a time where the Constitution has been under attack– all the other amendments– in an unprecedented way.”

“I’m a constitutional absolutist. We can argue about whether the Second Amendment was intended to protect guns. That argument has now been settled by the Supreme Court,” he continued.

Despite his belief in not taking away guns, RFK made it very clear he still finds the current trend of mass shootings in the country to be extremely concerning and something that needs to be looked into much further. 

“I also am going to look very closely at the role psychiatric drugs in these events and there are no good studies right now that should’ve been done years ago on this issue because there is a tremendous [amount of] circumstantial evidence that those SSRIs and benzos and other drugs are doing this,” he explained.

“There’s something happening in our country right now that is not happening anywhere else in the world and has never happened in human history and you have to look at almost all these drugs,” he continued. “If you look at these manufacturers inserts these include a side effect of homicidal and suicidal indicents.”

RFK continued to highlight how unique the mass shootings are to American culture and how these sorts of events haven’t been witnessed to this scale in all of human history.

Kennedy has been an open skeptic of the pharmaceutical industry, touting a notable anti-vaccination advocate. The presidential candidate believes that the health condition he has faced that causes his voice to sound scratchy, spasmodic dysphonia, was due to a flu vaccine that he received many years back. 
 

In 1996 RFK jr suffered a neurological injury which baffled doctors.

Years later when he was in litigation over a particular flu vaccine he discovered that his condition, spasmodic dysphonia was listed as one of the top side effects.

The position of the presidential candidate is undoubtedly a unique one for a member of the Democratic party but certainly can be used as a way to pull in Republicans and Independents to his side. RFK has so far done a fantastic job appealing to the middle-ground voters by not simply putting his beliefs on party lines but instead assessing each individual issue and drawing his own logical conclusion. 

Perhaps if more members of the Democratic party were able to think and advocate like Kennedy does there would be less outrageous claims and legislation being forced upon American citizens.
