Just as many gun owners don’t commit mass killings, the majority of people on suboxone or other drugs don’t commit mass killings.
The killing is the problem. Not the drugs. Do you really think that if we ban all psychiatric drugs that mass shootings will stop? Could it be that these people are crazy enough that even anti-psychotic medications can’t stop them from being psychotic?
Despite all our best efforts, when you have a populace as large as we have, some outliers are going to pop up and do abnormal things. Do you think an anthill never has an ant that goes off the rails and doesn’t do what it is supposed to? Maybe even kills a few ants? Chimpanzees kill other animals all the time. Baboons are violent violent creatures. We can’t stop all deranged individuals in our society, whether it be from banning guns or drugs or any other convenient scapegoat we can come up with. In a society with billions of individuals, some of them are going to be defective in a way that affects other individuals.
More guns, or metal detectors in more public places will probably be a better fix than trying to pinpoint ways that the outliers may cause harm.
If this particular church had had a metal detector at the door, this probably wouldn’t have occurred within its doors. Would he have maybe sat outside and picked them off instead? Highly likely. Would more guns among the innocent have helped? Most likely, but who knows, panic may have occurred and more people might have ended up dead.
Horrific shit is going to happen. It’s the nature of a planet with billions of people on it.
> the majority of people on suboxone or other drugs don’t commit mass killings.
They sometimes do when cops play doctor and cut those drugs off cold turkey for the War on Drugs.
I agree. The Founding Fathers made note of that, too.
No.
Are you a lawyer?
Disarming the honest people never ends well.
it does same something when most of these killers...at least the white ones....are on prescribed drugs....suboxone
is not prescribed lightly.
uh, I never said we should ban the drugs. All I pointed out was that it appears this murderer was apparently on them.
This seems to make him akin to Adam Lanza, another apparent murderer on drugs.
Trying to make some comparisons. :)
Interesting.
