National Dayton killer WAS on drugs says coroner

Caulk another one up for the mental health crisis no politician wants to admit is getting out of control

Although is proven that 100% of mass shooters have consumed large quantities of DHMO over their life time.

They have got to address the antipsychotics and antidepressants issue here.
Its the common trend that no media outlet is touching due to big pharma and the politics behind them. Well that and the fact that doing so doesn't push an anti gun narrative.

How should we handle any person on meds, Veteran's certainly haven't been immune to committing mass or attempted mass murders. There are certainly millions of citizens on mood meds that own firearms but haven't gone out and participated in mass shootings.

There are roughly 40,000,000 adults in the US taking psychiatric drugs at any time. If 1% of them own firearms
(400,000) and of that number if .1% (one in 1,000) has some kind of a violent psychotic break--there are 400
potential shooters. When the US moved away from inpatient psychiatric treatment and moved toward "here,
take these and check back in next month" it was probably not a move in the right direction.

We need to keep the focus on the individual not guns, knives, bombs, drugs, education, religion, video games, violent TV and movies, posting on right leaning forums, etc....
I bet I could find a reason to restrict firearms to anyone on this forum. I personally think that after what damage I have seen related to alcohol we should look into that first.

Personally I am surprised we have never heard mandatory drug testing suggested as part of a gun purchase.

A normal drug test is within 24 hours but a positive screening after a false positive can take a few days. It would make it take too long to buy a gun.

It would make it take too long to buy a gun.

And the BGC issues in some states (consider WA) don't delay gun sales now?
I am sure if there WERE supporters of something like this length of time to buy a gun would hardly be a concern.

Concern for me. Here I pick a gun, pay, then I'm out in less than 30 minutes. Rather not go from that to waiting almost a day at least.
