Reefer Madness
He was a meth head.
He had a therapist.
(So his parents knew he was troubled.)
His [Democrat] dad owned guns for protection.
That dad wrote online after Sandy Hook: Trying to understand the causes of this tragedy is the only way to keep it from happening again. And keeping all the other children safe from this kind of crazy is the goal. How many more children have to die before we can have a rational discussion about this?”
Agree - we need to have a discussion. These two parents need to start talking.
Porn, satanism, speed, weed, adderall, cocaine, friends who thought all of this was just everyday teen entertainment... plus an AR15.
What could go wrong?
“We already have laws to keep weapons out of the hands of drug addicts. Those laws only need to be enforced much more often.”
And how would you propose we do that?
Considering drug addicts buy off the streets, there’s no record.
Felony convictions —of all types, including drug offenses— prevent gun purchase, & those ARE enforced by gun dealers.
The rare occasion when 1 slips thru the cracks is the 1 we’ll hear about, not the millions that don’t.
What about prescription drug addicts? Those drugs are legally obtained,
Are you suggesting we revoke self defense rights because of addiction to back pain meds?
Or because someone sought treatment for drug addiction?
So you want to submit your medical records before you can purchase a weapon?
But the left is busy legalizing weed in state after state.
Because weed makes you mellow.
Violent potheads? Can’t happen. /s
What people dont realize is, legal weed dealers have overhead: income & sales taxes, business licenses. leases, commercial property tax.
And they must compete with the much cheaper street weed.
So the legal dealers are lacing their product with various chemicals in order to deliver a more wasted high.
The stuff kids are smoking ain’t your grandma’s marijuana.
That's not true, there is no evidence she was transgender.
When the Dayton shooter killed his sister, he cut short a life full of promise, friends say
The article had one of those highlighted phrases that opened to a publication called the “The Advocate.” It was a newsletter of sorts for the homosexual community and spoke of her(?) in endearing terms as being one of them. I have seen nothing else, nor have I searched for anything more.
Drug addicts associate with each other. Police who aren’t lazy or corrupted can develop trees of association, even on paper. That provides a way to start and eventually get it all done. It would also be helpful, if they stopped shooing clean informants away to protect criminals who are local favorite sons/daughters.
Ah, ok.
So you want “trees of association” and a system of carefully monitoring who associates & engages in exactly what behavior with whom, & informants informing on everyone eh?
Sounds like a communist police state is what you want.
Communist police states employ drug pushers to falsely accuse non-addicts. People in free countries take out the trash instead.
There is a very thin line that prevents the one from being turned into the other, FRiend.
That line was already crossed after 9/11, when’prior restraint,’ once verboten, became common practice.
Terrorists have given us no choice but to try & stop them beforehand, but the government’s bar must remain high.
If you’re on board with the notion that anyone can point to anyone else whose personal habits offend or because they *might* do something offensive, and demand them to be ‘taken out’ as trash, then I want you nowhere near me or my family.
I wonder what drug warriors think of this =>

Screen all adult patients for drug abuse, national panel urges
Aug 13, 2019
A national panel of health experts recommended Tuesday that doctors screen all adult patients for illicit drug use, including improper use of prescription medications. But the group, the US Preventive Services Task Force, stopped short of endorsing such screening for teenagers, a position that puts them at odds with major adolescent health groups.
The panel, appointed by the Department of Health and Human Services but operated independently, said that its proposed guidelines are intended to combat alarmingly high rates of substance abuse in the United States. It cited a 2017 federal survey that found 1 in 10 Americans ages 18 and older said they were using illicit drugs or not using medications in ways that doctors intended.
