Tell Mexico if they don’t stop the drug cartels in their country then we will declare real war on them. Then bomb the sh_t out of the drug lords holdings.

While 64,000 is a lot of people, it should kept in perspective. It’s less than 1% of people who use opioids for chronic pain, and about twice the number who die from the flu each year. Doubling down on the failed WOD and making it harder to get pain killers isn’t the right answer.

How many are killed and maimed in traffic accidents compared to the same with firearms?

Guns are the SECOND weapon in the school shootings.

LEGALLY prescribed zombie drugs are the FIRST...they prime the shooters.

This is what we must make this go viral, finally.

YouTube search for ‘psychotropic drugs mass shootings” - bone up and write letters to your editors, send emails to all FOX NEWS shows and post on Trump’s Twitter and FaceBook pages.

All the shooters were on the mind-destroying drugs...and it’s deliberate.

This shooter screamed, begged, threatened - for months. I suspicion none of the people responsible to stop him may have done so deliberately - knowing this would play into their agenda.

Viscous animals are the most dangerous when they find themselves in a corner - as the libs do now.

FR USED to be pro-active and effective! (Just ask Dan Rather) not just a group of nattering nabobs who opine but don;t act.

This is vital to ACT upon. Before we all get shut down.

I’m conflicted about this. On the one hand human life is sacred. On the other some people are so determinably self destructive why reach out. Here in Maryland there is at least one couple who overdosed four times and were saved by medtechs. Where is the line?
