MANUFACTURING MASS SHOOTINGS: GIVING GUN PERMITS AND MONSTER-MAKING DRUG COCKTAILS TO THE MENTALLY IL
Why They Keep happening And What Needs To Be Examined and Done
An interview with premiere mass shootings investigator Kelly O’Meara examining the so-far unsolved issues at the nexus of these monstrous acts, including how emotionally disturbed people get gun permits, if people on cocktails of mind-altering prescription drugs should be allowed to have guns and how to vet those among them trying to buy guns without violating HIPPA laws, and what to do about people who are open proponents of using gun violence.
An interesting aspect to keep in mind as Borjesson and O’Meara discuss the influence of psychoactive pharmaceutical drugs and violent anti social acts is that one “drug” in Pennsylvania will trigger the suspension of 2nd amendment rights and block the application of a gun permit. Any one in PA who has acquired a medical marijuana card is prohibited from gun purchases and ownership. Why marijuana is singled out here and SSRI’s (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) are not of concern is very curious since the common conception about marijuana use is that this drug reduces aggression.
