You got it. Correlation is not causation, but it's hard to unlink the two issues. Many people are helped by meds, but even the prescribing labels on these drugs warn that in a small number of cases it results in suicidal ideation, rage, etc. So it's just a question of math - millions of people on the drugs, that means thousands of people are going to snap.
The media rarely makes mention of this, and the obvious reasons why I can think of are 1) it doesn't suit their agenda and 2) they don't want to stigmatize mental health issues. If they really wanted to make a case then they will say "anyone on mood altering drugs is banned from guns". Ironically, if you are an illegal drug user (even medical marijuana, or cocaine, meth, etc) you are supposed to declare it on the forms and that is automatic denial of a gun purchase. But it won't trigger an automatic confiscation of guns. Yet.
Any word yet if this murderer was on any of those mood altering/depression meds?
Does anyone ever challenge these clowns to pint out that CA’s strict gun laws didn’t work? Or point out their lies about the number of mass shootings?
There will always be crazies on the loose, especially with the ACLU around. The only thing that will possibly prevent it stop these shootings is the presence of an armed citizen. There is a reason most Antifa activities occur in areas with strict gun control, ditto for loonies looking for victims.
Dang,
You are a Dangerous person,
To be around.
The only one I can think of would be to reduce the standard for an involuntary psych hold in California, because this perp was evaluated and did not qualify.
California...
Handgun and rifle registration-Check.
Background checks-Check.
Ban on A-s-s-ault rifles.-Check.
Waiting Periods-Check.
FBI checks-check.
Only California approved hand guns allowed-Check.
Tax on ammo-Check.
Age limit for ammo-Check.
Gun free zone-Check.
Ban on large magazines-Check.
No private individual sales-Check.
So what new scheme and dream will they come up with...
IIRC, he had previously been on a med routine but not at the time of the murders.
I was in the Army Reserve in 2009 when panic came to us down the chain of command that there had been more soldier suicides in 2008 than battle deaths. There were mandatory briefings, how to watch for suicidal tendencies, scenarios, PTSD, etc.
None of the CG’s recommendations included getting the chaplain corps involved. No role for spiritual support.
The panic later collapsed when it came out that NONE of the 2008 suicides were combat veterans. Then a trickle of info emerged that most of the suicidal people had been under treatment with antidepressants.
The cause & effect was impossible to miss, yet that’s what happened. No combat-related flashbacks, just reaction to overprescribing.
Yeah and California’s new fagot governor, replacing the old fagot governor thinks he will steamroll gun control. What the libs fail to ever keep in mind is that almost all of the idiots that vote for them own guns and want guns to defend themselves and their families...........that includes the illegals.
At least we have a better chance of these infringing laws being overturned in the SCOTUS.
80 years ago,
Kristallnacht.
Should we tell,
CNN,
Google or
MSMLSD?
Yeah but a new batch of infringements will FINALLY put an end to “gun violence”. Like I said, what if he had burned the place down? Logic? They don’t need no steenkin’ logic.
Today show this am claimed there was a mass shooting everyday this week.
Logic has nothing to do with it, every good comrade know you must disarm the proletariat before you can take complete control.
Reportedly 307 this year. (If you start counting in 1966)
