Yes..We have a close friend whose 17 year old son has Asperger’s, and, all of this is remarkable considering what we know about him, his problems and his personality..It is hard to believe this person did all of the complex planning of this on his own if he had mental deficiencies..Also, though, medications or drugs of other kinds must be considered..He was 20 and we do live in a culture heavily saturated with drugs. Drug use in America may be the biggest threat to our safely and well being right now. They kill the lives, hopes and dreams of individuals and families every day and, for most, there is no cure. We have seen governments just days ago unleash marijuana on society. Another disgust for me in the light of the horrific murder of these innocents is the abortion industry which is supported by all of those who are coming out for the disarming of American citizens. What about those innocents? The litany of names blaming guns instead of looking at the true facts of this and other massacres is always the same. Americans will not give up their means of protecting themselves, especially against a hostile government which has now risen to a major danger in the minds of lots of people.
Yes, we have. But keep in mind that on the form 4473 there is the (disqualifying) question regarding drug use. At present, there is no record of who bought or used what, with legal sales there could be.
Those who choose to avail themselves of that new ability will find their rights curtailed for having done so (cannot legally purchase a firearm).
While that won't stop all, it would make one think before taking up marijuana use, and might pose an unanticipated side effect for others.
However, I am every bit as concerned about the psychoactive drugs which are routinely prescribed for people who are let loose on their own to maintain their pharmacology when they might pose a credible threat.
