It’s also time to address the psychoactive meds that plenty of these shooters have been on, in particular the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, SSRIs. This kid had Asperger's syndrome. Was he on them? Were his meds adjusted recently? You can go nuts with SSRIs either increasing or decreasing the dosage.

We need ‘Mental’-Free-Zones

or maybe more appropriately —’Meds’-Free-Zones

Big-Pharma has some explaining to do....

When does it get blamed on AGW?

Here in North Texas, more and more businesses who once had signage up to not allow CCW in their business have taken those signs down.

More signs of the times.

It will probably be put on GWB's feet first.

I like the idea of Leftist-Free States. I will move to one as soon as one is available.

I was sent the Busch Gardens sign and should have checked their website first. This was photoshopped. Please disregard and remove.

From Busch Gardens website:

For your safety, the following items are not permitted inside Busch Gardens: glass containers, chairs, firearms, knives, pointed scissors, pepper sprays, eating utensils, clothing with offensive language, wallet chains, and flammable liquids.

Lott offers a final damning statistic: “With just one single exception, the attack on congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson in 2011, every public shooting since at least 1950 in the U.S. in which more than three people have been killed has taken place where citizens are not allowed to carry guns.”

SHOUT IT!!! Everywhere.

It is still morally offensive to me that only cops can carry guns to protect themselves.

I once tried a thought experiment to imagine one aspect of life that would not improve if all the leftists magically disappeared for good. I came up empty. I think they’re some kind of Biblical plague.

Just click “Report Abuse” on your own post and ask the Mod to remove it. I don’t know if that always works, but it worked once for me.

As more facts trickle in regarding this latest school shooting, we are finding that it perhaps wasn’t quite as out-of-the-blue as the media would like to portray it. The kid had problems, the mom had lots of guns laying around evidently not properly secured, and there were incidents where she reportedly feared her own child. Yet just like the Zimmerman/Martin case, captain Zero needs to rush right in there with his pre-planned agenda that just needed “an incident” to put into motion.

There is an article posted here that says he was on Fanapt, a schizophrenia drug. I found it buried in the article and posted about it in the thread.
