Is any of this research based? Is there another option other than repeal the 2nd Amendment or don’t repeal it?
Is Big Pharma/ Big NIH responsible for school shootings? I have no clue.
Up until four months ago, I’d eat at McDonalds three or four times a week. “I’ve been eating there since the burgers were 15 cents each. My grandchildren love to go there. I led the lambs to the wolf. I was diagnosed with heart disease four months ago? Who could have known?
NIH/School Shootings, who could have known?
Is this approach of Kennedy’s legit?
When I watched the Carlson interview he did NOT look like a gun grabber to me. In the last twenty years has supported unconstitutional efforts to ban “assault weapons” and the like?
And I hope RFK Jr. is a man of his word on gun rights.
Makes one curious when SSRIs became mainstream
“I’d eat at McDonalds three or four times a week”
3-4 times a week ? Wow ! That’s asking for a heart attack . Proud to say I haven’t eaten at McDonalds either in the USA or Japan for over 30 years . No fast food joints for me .
1) He deserves the space to evolve from previous positions as he adapts to his abandonment of the Democrat Party.
2) We should be wary of his past positions on many subjects which can only be described as whacky.
Why do kids go into gangs, do drugs, steal cars, shoot people?
What changed?
How about looking at the destruction of the traditional family around the time of LBJ’s great crusades against poverty and racism? That’s when big government made the father unnecessary.
And it was supported by both dems and repubs.
These are the words of a gun grabber. 90% of “mass shootings” are inner city gang and drug violence. They have nothing to do with something like Columbine. He still wants to put the focus on the guns rather than the criminals. Look at the current epidemic of blade violence in Briton.
The social media had saturated the society with the affordability and availability of portable devices.
Combine that with the instantaneous news cycle and it becomes a social contagion that every disturbed kid and young adult wants to become famous by righting the incalculable wrongs committed against him in a very bloody and public way.
The problem is that the democrat party and their communist cohorts have screwed up the mental health of so many Americans. And its all on purpose.
anti depressant drugs that started being handed out to kids by doctors like they were candy messed their brains up!
“why we have mass shootings every 21 hours”
Poor impulse control?
Little to no future time orientation?
High time preference?
Or, are these things too hard for politicians to talk about?
Is there really any need for research on this topic? We’ve lost God & respect for others. We’re divided & encouraged to hate each other by the media. Social media has meant we play with things instead of each other - no strong relationships. The list is endless. It’s no wonder our kids are messed up.
Not just kids. I’m so angry these days I can hardly contain myself!
“Ever since the mass school shooting at Columbine High School, we can safely surmise that the typical American school shooter is likely to be a Caucasian adolescent male from a middle-class community who attends or attended a suburban high school. Further, the shooter is likely to be a loner, an outcast, and is described by teachers and peers as being socially awkward with a limited number of friends.
“Reports also indicate that the majority of school shooters were victims of bullying. Bullying continues to be a pervasive social problem among adolescents and includes both verbal and physical provocation in schools, as well as cyberbullying. Many of the shooters were ridiculed, belittled, demeaned, or even ostracized to the point where it might be assumed revenge or retaliation became a strong motivating force for their actions.”
“breakdown of the family due to increasing rates of divorce and single-parent households.”
When I was young, playing with neighborhood kids from the time we got home from school and dinnertime was the norm.
Dangerous words to follow. He “study” will convince people that whatever the study recommends must be truth and that truth will be to ban guns. The “study” will find no other reason but the availability of guns, even though guns have always been available.
“all types of child maltreatment (physical, sexual, psychological, neglect), mental illness of a household member, problematic drinking or alcoholism of a household member, illegal street or prescription drug use by a household member, divorce or separation of a parent, domestic violence toward a parent, and incarceration of a household member”
“Most school shooters have experienced being bullied by their classmates for weeks, months, or years”
“power imbalance often takes various forms, which include physical (e.g., hitting), verbal (e.g., name-calling), relational (e.g., social isolation), or online (cyber) bullying.”

Tip: running RFK Jr videos at a faster speed makes him much more understandable. 1.15 speed is about right.
Click the gear icon and then Speed and in the top right, click Custom. Drag the slider to 1.15.
The US military, National Guard, Police number about 2,500,000 men.
VS.
20,000,000 civilian semi-auto rifle owners, and maybe 75 million other firearm owners, and over 400,000,000 firearms out there. 250,000,000 high cap magazines in private hands.
And the Democrats thinks they can “regulate” that?
Obama tried to buy up all available ammo.
Psycotrophic drugs....
My guess is everyone of these mass shooters was either on or withdrawing from them...

“Is Big Pharma/ Big NIH responsible for school shootings?”
School kids are prescribed all kinds of drugs for behavior that would’ve been normal behavior in the the past. (Teachers are lazy and don’t want to deal with normal boys — most of them are boys.)
I suppose that drugs in kids’ systems could have some connection to aggressive behavior leading to shootings. I’m not a doctor.
