What drug is this guy on?

Sounds like the shooter had recent back surgery and was probably on drugs- like painkillers. Why do we let people on drugs buy weapons of war? This country has totally lost its way and is now borderline insane.
Doubtful that he was on legal drugs. When a neurosurgeon (and probably an orthopedic surgeon that that does spine work) does his procedure, the patient should be fixed. If not, said surgeon has done what he can do, and he dismisses the patient. No new prescriptions. I would suspect patient reacted to the continued pain and the refusal of the surgeon to accommodate his request for refills.

Why do you continue to refer to weapons of war? All firearms can be weapons of war. Knives can be weapons of war. You're believing too much from your political leaders. Ask Biden. He was tasked by Obama with fixing the problem in 2012. How'd that work out?

Back to the question: What has changed?

You are too weak minded to reason with.

Forget the term weapons of war and answer this. How is it in this country an 18 year old can walk in a store and but 2 rifles with high enough capacity magazines to kill a crowd before the cops can get there plus the ammunition with no background check but he can’t buy a beer?

Here's a better question: What brings an 18 y/o to the point that he/she/it feels a need to kill someone?

Really? Which is more practical for us to deal with? Restrict access by age? Or provide all those between 18 & 21 with a psychiatrist? Remember - you didn't want to have to pay for the medical expenses of others when ACA was being decided.

Should we open up alcohol sales to those between 18 & 21 and give everyone a free psychiartrist? .

Constitutional rights have restrictions that are within reason to better society:
Freedom of Speech: 1st Amendment - you can't yell fire in a crowded auditorium
Freedom to drink alcohol: 18th Amendment took it away, 21st amendment gave it back. Restricted to those over age 21.

An even better question is why give him the ability to buy a weapon of war at 18? Until we figure out why he does it can we at least admit that his not having a gun would avoid a slaughter of innocent people?
 








The latest horror was today in Tulsa. The shooter bought his AR only hours before he took the lives of four people and himself. He was 45 years old. Your solution would have done nothing to avert this horror.
Maybe a 48 hour golfing period would have allowed the shooter to reconsider his stupid idea. Dope.
