Oh, now you're an expert in Addiction Medicine, too?

FYI: it is well-known in the medical community that the habitual use of (especially high-potency) THC/cannabinoids can lead to psychosis, anxiety, depression, and suicide. As with all drugs, more potent formulations increase addictive potential and withdrawal effects.

I'm not here to start yet another pot debate. Just stating facts.

They will never understand or believe you on this. They will say “but it’s not as bad as heroin”

Well...another POS nutjob just shot up the 4th July parade up there in a Dimwit controlled sheithole state.

So far 6 dead and 24 more hospitalized....parade group of kids ...plus onlookers....killed from an elevated sniper style position.

NEVER TELL HIS NAME.

HANG HIM IN TOWN SQUARE WITH a bag over his head.
We need to go medieval on these mass shooters. I’m talking burning, drawn and quartered, real nasty stuff. This comfy prison cell and becoming a celebrity stuff isn’t a sufficient deterrent

Edit: was told here only 6 died so far and not 12. Applogies.

No more fame from cowardly evil deads. Feck this dude.

Illinois state police screwed the pooch. They say “hey the father vouched for him on the FOID card app and there was no clear and present danger.” Except the local LEOs have clearly stated they informed the state police in 2019 of a “clear and present danger” when they removed the knives at the time of the death threats complaint.

The morons can’t wield the power they’ve been given properly so the clear answer is to punish everyone else and give these morons more power. SMDH.

There needs to be as much backlash to pharmaceutical companies who manufacture zoloft, prozac, lexapro etc. Quick and easy to blame the gun or say mental health after the fact. Can't go after big pharma the same way as the NRA? Does HIPPA protect the provider who wrote the Rx month after month, year after year for those that committed mass shootings?

Immigration is another one. Literally anyone can come over here with no checking into who they are as a person. Americans are killed every year due to this. Not a lot of squawking from the left on this.

Doesn't move the needle until they start voting against the Dems that allow it to happen.

Similar to the parents that let their kid have access to a gun in Michigan a few weeks ago when he killed 4 students. He also had drawings of himself killing other people. That kid even wrote "Make the voices stop" on the drawings. Crimo produced a rap/music video of himself shooting up a classroom and getting arrested. Hopefully the police find whoever filmed that video with him. How can someone film that and not report the Psycho? So many warning signs get ignored in most of these mass shootings.

Tucker Carlson pins Highland Park shooting on 'lectures from women on male privilege' while furious Bill O'Reilly attributes atrocity to 'Minority Gangs which, like Drug Gangs and Drug Crime, you'll never stop'

Fox News hosts past and present weighed in on Monday's mass shooting in Highland Park, Ill., attributing women lecturing men on 'privilege' and government officials not prosecuting crimes because they're committed by 'minority gangs' as reason these atrocities keep happening.

On Tuesday, Fox News host Tucker Carlson said women going on about male 'privilege' is contributing to men 'going nuts' and behaving like Highland Park shooter, Robert 'Bobby' Crimo III, 22, who killed 7 people and injured 47.

'Authorities in their lives, mostly women, never stop lecturing them about their so-called privilege. "You are male, you are privileged." Imagine that, try and imagine an unhealthier, unhappier life than that. So a lot of young men in America are going nuts,' Carlson said.

Carlson questioned why Crimo didn't 'raise an alarm' or 'stand out' to authorities, despite the fact police had visited Crimo's home on at least two other occasions -- first, after he threatened to kill himself and, again, after he threatened to kill family members.

'Look at Robert ‘Bobby’ Crimo. Would you sell a gun to that guy? Does he seem like a nutcase? Of course he does," Carlson said, asking why no one raised an alarm before suggesting an answer.

'Maybe it is because there are a lot of young men in America who suddenly look and act like this guy,' he said. 'That is not an attack, it is just true.'

The Fox News host explained that men are becoming inured to drugs -- and then committing heinous acts.

'They are numbed by the endless psychotropic drugs that are handed out in every school in the country by crackpots posing as counselors,' he said.

Fact is, we all look at his photo and make assumptions.

See him in photos at Trump events or wearing his flag or what not, and make assumptions.

Read he was a gamer and did weird music videos, and make assumptions.

Because we cannot know which of these things, if any, is a sure fire way to know a person is at risk and so should not be given an assault rifle, the presumption ought to be the other way around. That is to say, rather than the State having to justify why you should not be able to purchase such a firearm simply when you walk in the door, the burden ought to be on the buyer to prove he is mentally stable and has no indicators of a heightened threat.

Put the burden where it belongs, on the gun purchaser. Can use a simple affidavit from a licensed psychiatrist provider that after reasonable inquiry and interview, there is no disqualifying attribute or condition. Easily done. Costs very little, especially compared to the cost of the rifle.

What's an assault rifle? Assuming he didn't have a rifle, do you think he would have called this off?

Hahaha, yeah, since I’m on here advocating for bars, alcohol, ect… nice try though.

I’ll tell you what, I’ll do that as soon as nut jobs like you stop being hypocrites about the constitution and the rights you beat the drums for. Guess what comes before the second amendment? That’s right: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Guess which side of the aisle has actively, relentlessly, and (at times) violently waged war against this particular section? Want to be taken seriously? Then address the matter about Trump, Republicans, and the conservative world trying to tear down this right that the constitutional framers saw fit to put before the right to bear arms.

See, THAT is hypocrisy, your attempt was feeble.

Either that or at least he would have been far less effective.

That is what I always find to be hilarious about the claims about "he could use a knife" or "he could use a hand gun." In a scenario like this one, none of those is going to kill nearly as quickly as an assault rifle.

Police found 83 bullet shells and three magazines of ammunition on the rooftop, Dillon told the court, and a Smith & Wesson semi-automatic rifle, similar to an AR-15, used in the shooting was found at the scene. The suspect had a similar weapon in his mother’s car when arrested, according to county prosecutors.
