I’m not too well versed in other countries medical situation so I can’t answer that. But do other countries hand out psych meds like it’s candy? Or put you on these meds as “trial and error” and act as though you’re a test dummy?
Here’s a kind of funny story I have about a friend of mine. (I’ll preface by saying I’m not opposed to marijuana legalization) He had pain in his balls for quite some time so he went to the doctor to see what was going on. The doctor didn’t know what the issue was so he prescribed him medical marijuana for the pain. So he’s telling me about this and I said “that’s great, but what was causing the ball pain?” He says “I don’t know. The doctor never ran any further tests”
That’s where we’re at right now. Our doctors prescribe medications to mask the actual problems rather than figuring out what’s wrong. I feel like it’s the exact same situation with mental health. They prescribe all these psych meds rather than having you talk to an actual therapist and getting to the root of the problem. We’re a lazy country as a whole and rather than figuring things out, we cover them up.
who has said take away guns? Every anti-gun poster i've read has said make it harder to get guns
Fentanyl is an addictive drug that kills people. It's also killed 70,000 per year , and some of those deaths were caused by Fentanyl being maliciously infused into pills like fake Xanax.
Guns don't trick people , nor are they addictive, and they aren't being illegally brought into the country across the southern border!!!
Fentanyl has killed more people in this country in one year , that what guns have done here in violent crime.....in the past 100 years!!
There is not even a comparison here!
in Texas, as long as im over 18 and dont have a criminal record, I can buy a gun. How does that address a mentally ill person getting a gun?

Joe Biden " I'm coming for you assault rifles"
Know who that is?
On your back ground check , if you had previous mental issues , it would show up.
Here in Oregon , it took me 3 months to get my new 12 gauge. A damn shotgun , took 3 months.
Dont try it, dont get addicted to it, dont take pills that dont belong to you and dont die from it.
fentanyl isnt the problem.
People take drugs because they are mentally ill.
People take drugs because they come from broken homes.
People take drugs because they dont believe in God
People take drugs because they see them in video games
People take drugs because its glorified in rap
People take drugs to look cool on social media.
We should fix all of those things, not the fentanly
I agree with all that.....but why argue about removing it as well?
because theres no need to, fentanyl isnt the problem, people are. We need to fix people, not the tools they use
I think we all know how shitty the FBI is at doing their job sometimes. And we’re always going to have outliers. Most of the time the person is not on a watch list, doesn’t have a criminal history and hasn’t been involuntarily committed.
What previous mental issues do you think would show on a background check
It’s a good question, and I am not sure if the rest of the west use those drugs to the same level.
I am guessing it’s not too different. But honestly have no idea.
Has there been a correlation between those that commit mass murder and use of psych drugs? Not doubting the claim, just not sure if that’s the case, and interested to see if there is any data either way. It does seem like something that needs to be studied if it has not been already.
I can only relay my personal experiences. In PA if you’ve been convicted of most misdemeanors or felonies or have been involuntarily committed then you can’t purchase a gun. And if you attempt to you will be denied and charged with falsifying official documents.
Wouldn't it be wild if people taking these sorts of medicines were not allowed to buy guns
That’s a slippery slope. They seem to be beneficial for some, especially if the correct medication is provided. Like I said earlier, the issue is with doctors and their trial and error tests. They will prescribe a different psych medication monthly until they find one that works. Sometimes the first one works well for a certain person but other times it takes multiple different attempts.
im not saying I disagree, but I feel like if that was the case then we will have a ton of people refusing to be prescribed medication which may work for them. Maybe we need to get back to good old counseling and talking through our problems rather than trying to cover them up with medications…
How on earth would any of these media outlets have any access to medical records? Why have no parents sued pharm companies? Seems like if 90% of these shooters take the same drugs then why haven't the NRA been banging that drum for years now?

Was either of these shootings caused by psych meds?
Would either of these people been hurt if the shooters hadn't picked up a gun in a fit of paranoia?
Are these people mentally stable enough to own guns if this is how they use them?
Pit Row
We send our thoughts and prayers every time there’s a mass shooting and God isn’t listening. Because another one happens 2 weeks later.
Yes Columbine did happen during the assault weapons ban. We will never prevent every single mass shooting. But we have to strive to prevent as many as we can.
The wait period could cause the person to have a change of heart in that 2 weeks. At least 2 recent mass shootings were done within days of the purchase. Maybe they get caught doing another crime. Many things could happen. But we don’t have one so we will never know.
Curfew? Sounds a lot like Martial Law. Pretty unAmerican. Very Communist.
Heck let’s just throw out the constitution and the bill of rights while we’re at it.
I can't speak on other states and how fast they process a person's records before buying a gun. Like I said earlier, it took me 3 months to get my new 12 gauge shotgun last year.
I'm just wondering why someone wouldn't want me to have my gun , because someone else shot up a place with their gun. It's a terrible thing to hear , and I'm sorry for that. Taking my guns , won't fix anything, except maybe your feelings?
It makes no sense , nor will it ever ....to disarm 99.999% of the population, because of one nut job.
Said it a million times and my mind will never change......fix people , guns don't need fixing.
For the last time, no one is saying take away all guns
make it harder to get guns is the message
if you can’t grasp that, there is nothing more to say
A ban and a confiscation is not discussed by anyone in politics right now. And if it is, it would never ever work. I’m not sure why so many people equate any legislation whatsoever with a confiscation and a ban.
We all go through strict airport security because of <1% of people who might do harm. We all understand that a reduced speed limit in a school zone or a residential street is kind of annoying for everyone, as is stopping when school buses load and unload. But we all do it because it makes our community safer.
Would solve the problem though, wouldn’t it
Another supporter of open borders, you love to see it
Sorry, but that comeback made zero sense to me.
Jafo is implying that laws don’t work, so no reason to make laws
so, he is for opening the border
Honestly, this is no fun if you cant keep up without help.
