Does a gun CAUSE someone to murder? Can a gun act on it's own? No it's ridiculous
When a truck drives into a crowd, or a truck bomb goes off, do we ever blame the Truck and suggest that Trucks should be outlawed? No that would be ridiculous.
Does the LSM ever ask anything about a the drug use of a shooter who massacres people? Do they ever seriously investigate why it happened? Will they investigate why the FBI really ignored this kid?
Shouldn't any action taken address the CAUSE of the problem?
If such drugs are going to continue to be used, and we don't know who will be impacted, shouldn't we take real action, like eliminating gun free zones which are just the next massacre waiting to happen?
How about hardening these "soft" targets with security guards and effective security screening/restriction of access?
Is it not suspicious that we have these shootings, and the cause is never really explored? The shooter winds up dead or cops a plea, so there is not a thorough investigation and records are never really available to the public?
Does the Government/gun grabbers really want to know the cause of the problem? Do they want a solution or would they rather have kids continue to be killed so that they can disarm law abiding citizens?
In the 50's we had kids driving to school with guns in gun racks in their pickups. We did NOT have all these massacres. Why is that? Why is no one trying figure that out?
Garth, that chart you posted on another thread was great. So I’m posting a link to the other thread.

I just also want to mention, that I have read in other articles that many of these people claim to hear voices, and that needs further exploration.
Excellent article. I urge all to read it.
Off topic, I was having trouble dealing with the repercussions of a head injury 10 years ago, so they threw me in psych for a few weeks of rest and relax...
Russian doctor (hot female) threw me on Prozac without asking a question.
Two days later I was on the floor crying my eyes out because of imaginary phone calls in which my future wife broke up with me and my mother told me I wasn’t really hers and to leave her alone.
WHO KNOWS what the next imaginary phone call might have been and what I might have done as a result on the outside!!
A few days after getting off the Prozac i was good.
Psych wards are awful, you just hang around all day and do ####, except watch an occasional person get wrestled to the ground and hear moans all night. (not the good kind)
But the 9pm sandwiches and snacks are delicious :)
I do workshops on the “Neuroscience of Prayer.” One of the first demonstrations I do is to step into a person’s space and point my finger in their face and ask them how it feels.
They respond in many different ways, sometimes by retreating and sometimes with aggression as though they want to bite it.
I then back up and ask them to close their eyes and say a silent prayer to themselves, a prayerful blessing of their choice, and when done, to open their eyes.
When they open their eyes, I step in even closer than the first time and again point my finger in their face, asking them how they now feel.
Much to their surprise, they usually respond that the finger pointing does not bother them now.
Exactly! With prayer you tune your consciousness, as a neuroscientist would measure your brain wave frequencies with an EEG, to a higher level. Your perception of reality is a function of the level of consciousness from which you view it.
You can worry and tune it so low that mole hills appear to be mountains. Or, you can turn toward God in prayer and tune your consciousness so high that mountains are perceived as mole hills. Prayer helps you turn your consciousness toward God which in turn helps you become closer to God and find your strength in God. (The more you find your strength in God the less dependent you become upon the earthly attachments around you)
If a person is on antidepressants and I do the above demonstration, they can pray for an hour and their consciousness frequency does not change. There is NO CHANGE.
Antidepressants block our ability to hear that higher voice in our heads that guide us to tell the difference between right and wrong. They are like having a radio and taking the tuning knob off so that you only get one station. Can’t turn to higher stations or the lower ones. Thus the flat affect of many people on antidepressants.
That being said, antidepressants do save lives. If the emotional pain is too great for us to bear, we need to temporarily anesthetize it, just as if I have a broken arm I might need a pain killer to get through the first few hours.
The pharmaceutical industry is the greatest obstacle to spiritual growth and is preparing us for satan’s low influence. Fear and anger are satan’t tools. Love is God’s tool. (satan is one of God’s tools too as God is always in control)
The Bible, especially the New Testament, is the best psychological self-help book in existence.
These pills are associated with mental ills, like aspirin is associated with headaches.
The vast majority of US guns see use for practice and sport, and that’s all. The 2A may have its fanatics, but they are not fanatics for killing. They are readiness fanatics. Now if we can only be a bit more, er, liberal about letting these readiness fanatics guard schoolyards, churches, and other such places.

Why does it read like a broken record?
In the 50’s we had kids driving to school with guns in gun racks in their pickups. We did NOT have all these massacres.
Money line, right there. Something’s wrong here, and it isn’t the presence of any type of guns.
“...In the 50’s we had kids driving to school with guns in gun racks in their pickups. We did NOT have all these massacres. Why is that? Why is no one trying figure that out? “
Not only did kids have rifles, kids carried them to school. One thing we can conclude is that the American child who was the product of pre-1960’s understood what adulthood looked like and aspired to it.
Drugs, the ones that the 60’s kids and onward have used, are responsible for the loss of many productive citizens. However, that begs the question, why did we/they seek the intoxication of drugs?
You don’t understand. They know all this. But they don’t care. It takes a few broken eggs to make the anti-gun omelet.

No, there's never been a congressional investigation into the linkage between psych drugs and homicidal ideation, and Big Pharma will continue to ensure that none ever occur.
From the greatest western ever made.
“ A gun is a tool Marian... like an ax or a shovel...no different... a gun is as good or as bad as the man who uses it.”
Strange, the drug factor was not mentioned at the CNN Town hall last night?
