Betts and his friend were both already prohibited as drug users. If they’d been busted before the mass murder, they might have been in prison instead of murdering people.

We have to stop incarcerating drug users, haven’t you heard? So say politicians and those on this forum.

Unfortunately, you are correct about numerous posters here who thinks drugs should not be regulated or illegal.

Why the h isn’t his girlfriend being indicted for multiple murders also??

She’s already stated that she knew he had murderous intentions, she knew he was psychotic, he showed her the kill list, he showed her weapons ... she saw all those signs of a disaster about to fold and said & did NOTHING to prevent it

She’s as guilty as he is!!!

Just because a state legalizes medical or recreational marijuana, and the feds don’t go after users, doesn’t change the fact that feds still consider it illegal and make users prohibited persons when it comes to firearms. Whether or not this is fair or wise or right is beside the point, it is what it is right now.

If you get a prescription for medical marijuana you have officially labeled yourself as a prohibited person.

I wouldn’t incarcerate these animals. They should be drawn and quartered on public television. Perhaps these sickos would think twice about the consequences of having their body parts separated.

Wednesday’s cop-shooter in Philly had a six-time felony record for illegal gun possession. He never should have been let out after the first time: Today’s Leftist cries for gun “control” are a prime example of Govt going after the innocent because they never punish the guilty. SORRY! No WAY, Jose!
