Might be a factor to consider before allowing these walking time bombs to purchase a weapon.
I don’t believe there was any hard evidence that this kid was taking drugs...that was just a rumor.
They drank water within 24 hours of commiting the crime too.
IMO that connection is tenuous at best. If you want a connection to violence, look to alcohol.
But it's a slippery slope, particularly if you believe in the right to bear arms.
I admit I haven't gotten as much flak on FR, a pro gun site, as elsewhre, but I've occasionally posted here on the disingenous nature of the ban on, in Illinois and elsewhere, gun ownership for those committed to mental institutions, and everywhere the ban on purchases.
"Crazy people", like felons, sure, there's a legitimate public interest in regulation.
But most affected are alcohol and drug addicts, who seek treatment.
A LEO with an alcohol problem, everything is OK till he gets help, then his job is in jeopardy. For the LEO, his union will take care of it.
What are you going to do, ban gun ownership for people on antidepressants?
The clear constitutional issue aside, if a gunowner has a problem, what do you want him to do, seek treatment and surrender his guns?
Doesn't take much imagination to see where that goes.
It seems that antidepressants and other related drug concoctions seem to be become a common thread with these killers who snap

Something that’s been bugging me. These big incidents often seem to happen around the span of April 15-20. Is there something about that time that just throws people off?
