After a week of polls showing the American people reacted to the Umpqua Community College (UCC) shooting with stronger support for gun rights than gun control, a Washington Post-ABC News poll released October 26 shows that an overwhelming majority of Americans also believe Congressional focus ought to be on fixing our mental health system instead of talking about more gun laws.

What is it... 99.5% of all crazed shooters are leftist? That's at least close.

There is at least one gun in 50 million households in America. So, someone tell me: How in the world can someone like Hillary, who wants to disarm us, be elected President?

“How in the world can someone like Hillary, who wants to disarm us, be elected President?”

That is easy! A great many people get their information from the media cartel, The NYTs, AP, NBC,ABC,CBS,CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, Huffington Post.

They never hear that Hillary wants to disarm us. All of that talk is crazy talk form those right wing extremists.

So they believe the lie. It is “manufactured consent” by the media cartel.

A huge problem in young people is the use of anti-depressants and Ritalin (speed). Young men have especially been targeted with these drugs as boys by their female teachers and mothers. They grow up with an altered state of mind from a young age via Ritalin. It suppresses emotion and controls energy and the users don’t learn how to deal with their own natural high and lows of energy and feelings. It stunts their mental and emotional maturity.

Then, they want to stop taking Ritalin when they get free from their moms in college. The withdraw reaction is called “depression.” They don’t know themselves without the drug and instead of getting counseling about the difference in how they experience life and themselves on Ritalin versus off the drug, they are assigned anti-depressants that are known to incite suicide (violence) in young users.

Our family saw this pattern over and over again in young men put on Ritalin as children then moved to anti-depressants as young adults. There is no way the profession that so readily and wrongly drugged them as children, is going to admit they have caused a massive case of mental illness in young men.

One of my sons, having seen the pattern in so many young males growing up, had a roommate who was graduated from Ritalin to anti-depressants once he got to college and stopped taking Ritalin. When he got on the anti-depressants, he told my son he was going to hang himself, he was so unhappy and my son believed him.

My son called his dad and told him the kid needed help ASAP. His dad came to the college immediately and took him home for love and mental help. My son told him what he knew about the drugs from seeing other young men. It must have worked, because the young man is working and successful. Surprisingly, he has stayed in touch with my son who was afraid he’d lose him for betraying the confidence.
