But if you paid attention to what is really driving mass killers, you'd have to actually work with the FDA and others to see why their investigations aren't figuring out the links between psychosis and antidepressants and the like. Much easier to just blame inanimate objects and people who voted against you!
ReplyDeleteAnother massacre, another charade:
ReplyDelete... there’s the cycle of gun talk. It starts with a mass shooting. Gun-control advocates blame the deaths on gun-control opponents, who argue, in turn, that none of the proposed restrictions would have had any effect on the incident in question. The debate goes nowhere. The media move on.
Until the next incident, when the cycle begins again.
