>> Tucker: GOOD EVENING AND
WELCOME TO
"TUCKER CARLSON TONIGHT."
IN THE PAST TEN DAYS, TWO
SEPARATE TEENAGE BOYS HAVE
COMMITTED HORRIFYING MASSACRES
IN PUBLIC PLACES.
ON MAY 14TH, 18-YEAR-OLD
MURDERED TEN SHOPPERS IN A
GROCERY STORE IN BUFFALO AND
THEN YESTERDAY 18-YEAR-OLD
KILLED 19 SMALL CHILDREN AND TWO
TEACHERS AT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
IN TEXAS.
BOTH WERE VERY OBVIOUSLY
MENTALLY ILL, THE PEOPLE AROUND
THEM KNEW THAT.
BOTH KILLERS HAD TOLD OTHER
PEOPLE THEY PLANNED TO COMMIT A
MASS SHOOTING, AND THEN THEY
DID.
SO WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THIS?
THE FIRST AND MOST OBVIOUS
ANSWER IS THAT THE SYSTEM IN
PLACE DIDN’T WORK.
HIS TEACHER SENT THEM TO A
MENTAL HOSPITAL FOR EVALUATION,
THEY KNEW HE WAS A THREAT.
THEY TRIED THEIR BEST, HE
COMMITTED A MASSACRE ANYWAY.
SO WE KNOW FOR A FACT THAT WHAT
WE ARE DOING ISN’T WORKING, BUT
WE SHOULD ALSO BE HONEST ENOUGH
TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT’S VERY
HARD TO KNOW WHAT TO DO INSTEAD.
DESPITE WE MAY HAVE HEARD, THE
PROBLEM ISN’T THAT WE DON’T CARE
ENOUGH.
THERE’S NOT A PERSON IN THIS
COUNTRY WHO IS NOT HORRIFIED BY
THE SIGHT OF MURDERED CHILDREN,
IT’S THE WORST THING, AND
EVERYBODY THINKS THAT.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE HUMAN
MIND IS MUCH MORE COMPLEX AND
HARDER TO CONTROL THAN WE LIKE
TO ADMIT.
A PERSON WHO IS INTENT ON
COMMITTING VIOLENCE IS VERY HARD
TO STOP UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
AN ACT OF CONGRESS ISN’T GOING
TO DO IT.
NEITHER WILL GUN CONTROL.
THERE ARE MORE GUNS IN THIS
COUNTRY THAN THERE ARE PEOPLE.
THERE ALWAYS HAPPEN.
HOWEVER YOU FEEL ABOUT THE FACT,
YOU CAN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU
WILL NEVER GET RID OF ALL OF
THOSE GUNS.
THE CONSTITUTION WERE HIT WITH
THAT AND HE WOULD SET OFF A
CIVIL WAR IF YOU TRIED TO DO IT.
GUN CONTROL WHETHER YOU FIND THE
SLOGANS APPEALING OR NOT, WILL
NOT STOP THE NEXT PERSON.
EVERY RATIONAL PERSON KNOWS IT.
THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THESE
KILLINGS IS TO FIGURE OUT WHY
AMERICAN SOCIETY IS PURSING SO
MANY VIOLENT YOUNG MEN.
THERE IS A REASON THEY’RE ACTING
THIS WAY.
WHAT IS THE REASON?
IT’S NOT JUST MASS SHOOTERS, BY
THE WAY, THE ONES YOU SEE ON
TELEVISION, ITS GANG BANGERS AND
CARJACKERS IN ARMED ROBBERS AND
INDISCRIMINATE HATERS WHO PUSH
STRANGERS IN FRONT OF SUBWAY
TRAINS.
WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE
THAT IN THIS COUNTRY ALL OF A
SUDDEN, MORE THAN YOU LIKE TO
THINK ABOUT.
WHY ARE THEY ACTING THIS WAY?
WITH THE ONLY QUESTION THAT
MATTERS.
OF COURSE IS THE ONLY QUESTION
OUR LEADERS HATE TO ADDRESS
BECAUSE THERE’S NOTHING IN IT
FOR THEM.
LAST NIGHT THE PRESIDENT OF
UNITED STATES WENT ON TELEVISION
JUST HOURS AFTER 19 SMALL
CHILDREN HAVE BEEN MURDERED.
HE DIDN’T DO THAT TO UPLIFT OR
UNITE THE COUNTRY, WHICH WAS
ALREADY UNITED IN ITS SORROW.
INSTEAD HE TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY
TO ONCE AGAIN HARANGUE ANYONE
WHO DIDN’T VOTE FOR HIM, AND HE
DID IT AS ALWAYS WITH A SERIES
OF STALE TALKING POINTS LEFT
OVER FROM THE 1980s.
IT WAS A SHAMEFUL DISPLAY.
HERE’S PART OF IT.
>> President Biden: AS A
NATION, WE HAVE TO ASK ONE IN
GOD’S NAME ARE WE GOING TO STAND
UP TO THE GUN LOBBY?
WINNING GOD’S NAME WILL WE DO
WHAT WE ALL KNOW IN OUR GOT
NEEDS TO BE DONE?
WHAT IN GOD’S NAME DO YOU NEED
AN ASSAULT WEAPON FOR EXCEPT TO
KILL SOMEONE?
DEAR ART RUNNING THROUGH THE
FOREST WITH KEVLAR VESTS ON, FOR
GOD SAKE.
IT’S JUST SICK.
IN THE GUN MANUFACTURERS HAVE
SPENT TWO DECADES AGGRESSIVELY
MARKETING ASSAULT WEAPONS, WHICH
MAKE THEM THE MOST AND LARGEST
PROFIT.
FOR GOD SAKE, WE HAVE TO HAVE
THE COURAGE TO STAND UP TO THE
INDUSTRY.
>> Tucker: CHILDREN ARE DYING
BECAUSE THE GUN LOBBY IS
PROFITING.
DISGUSTING HE WOULD SAY
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
IT’S ALSO UNTRUE,
"THE NEW YORK TIMES" SAID THE
SAME THING WITHIN HOURS OF THE
SHOOTING.
THE GUN LOBBY.
PLEASE.
THE NRA DECLARED BANKRUPTCY LAST
YEAR.
THE NRA IS A HUSK.
IN 2021 FOR EXAMPLE, THE TECH
COMPANY SPENT MORE THAN
$70 MILLION LOBBYING CONGRESS.
BIG PHARMA SPENT 82 MILLION
LOBBYING CONGRESS AND THE FIRST
QUARTER OF 2021 ALONE.
THE NRA SPENT JUST 2.2 MILLION
TOTAL LOBBYING IN ALL OF 2020, A
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION YEAR.
SPARE US.
WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS, IT’S
NOT THE GUN LOBBY.
THEY ARE NOT THE REASON THOSE
CHILDREN WERE MURDERED
YESTERDAY.
IT’S INSULTING AND DIVISIVE AND
STUPID.
THIS IS TOO SERIOUS A MOMENT FOR
NONSENSE LIKE THAT.
STOP.
BUT OVER AT MSNBC THEY WERE
COMPLETELY CONVINCED.
WATCH.
>> AND AGAIN, AS PRESIDENT BIDEN
SAID, I THOUGHT HE DID AN
EXTRAORDINARY JOB LAST NIGHT,
AND I REALLY DO.
I FEEL SORRY FOR THOSE WHO
ACTUALLY SAW THAT AND WERE
ACTUALLY FORCED TO SAY SOMETHING
REALLY [BLEEP] ABOUT HIM AFTER
HE DID IT.
THAT’S HOW THEY MAKE THEIR MONEY
MONEY?
IT REALLY -- IT MAKES ME REALLY
SAD FOR THEM THAT THEY HAVE THAT
DARK OF A SOUL, THAT THEY ARE
THAT TWISTED.
>> Tucker: JOE SCARBOROUGH SET
A NAUGHTY WORD ON TV, THIS MUST
BE SERIOUS.
AND IN FACT IT IS VERY SERIOUS.
IN FACT, IT’S TOO SERIOUS
RETIRED PARTISAN PLATITUDES FROM
THE REAGAN ERA.
UPDATE YOUR PROFILE.
POLITICIANS OFFERING SOLUTIONS
TO THE TRAGEDY THAT IN THE END
SERVE ONLY TO MAKE A POLITICAL
PARTY MORE POWERFUL SHOULD BE
EXCLUDED FROM THIS CONVERSATION.
IT IS TOO IMPORTANT, THEY ARE
SPEAKING IN BAD FAITH,
OBVIOUSLY.
AND SO IS ANYONE WHOSE BODY
GUARDS TO CARRY EXTENDED
MAGAZINES OR OTHER SO-CALLED
WEAPONS OF WAR.
THEY ARE HYPOCRITES, THEY HAVE
NO STANDING.
GET BACK TO US WHEN YOU FOLLOW
YOUR OWN DEMAND.
IF ANYONE ON TV HAS BEEN ACCUSED
FOR A CRIME SHOULD ALSO TAKE
THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BE VERY
QUIET, NO ONE WANTS A MORAL
LECTURE FOR YOU.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY THAT’S
ESSENTIALLY ALL WE ARE GETTING,
MORE WIND AT A TIME WHEN WE NEED
MORE THAN THAT.
BETO O’ROURKE, WHO IS RUNNING
FOR OFFICE AGAIN BECAUSE HE HAS
NO MARKETABLE SKILLS JUST
STORMED A PRESS CONFERENCE TO
BERATE TEXAS OFFICIALS.
HE DID THIS IN FRONT OF THE
FAMILIES OF SOME OF YESTERDAY’S
VICTIMS.
WATCH.
>> EXCUSE ME.
EXCUSE ME.
>> SIT DOWN.
>> YOU ARE OUT OF LINE AND AN
EMBARRASSMENT.
>> SIT DOWN.
>> NO.
HE NEEDS TO GET THE [BLEEP] OUT
OF HERE.
THIS ISN’T THE PLACE TO TALK
THIS OVER.
>> SIR, YOU’RE OUT OF LINE.
SIR, YOU ARE OUT OF LINE.
SIR, YOU ARE OUT OF LINE, PLEASE LEAVE THIS AUDITORIUM.
>> Tucker: COME ON.
THAT’S SAVING LIVES?
THAT’S MAKING THIS A BETTER
COUNTRY?
BETO O’ROURKE SOUNDS LIKE ONE OF
THOSE LUNATICS FROM THE WESTBORO
BAPTIST CHURCH GETS OFF ON
MAKING A SCENE.
BUT THAT’S ESSENTIALLY THE
ANSWER WITH GOTTEN TO HOW TO FIX
AND PREVENT IT HAPPENING.
PLEASE.
ANYONE WHO TALK LIKE THIS SHOULD
BE QUIET FOR A MINUTE AND LEAVE
IT TO EVERYBODY ELSE TO FIGURE
OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING.
AND THIS IS BIGGER THAN A SINGLE
MASS SHOOTING OR EVEN TWO OF
THEM IN TEN DAYS.
THIS BEEN A HUGE INCREASE IN
VIOLENCE IN AMERICA.
ON OUR STREETS, PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION, IN OUR SCHOOLS.
IF NOT I GUESS IT’S MEASURABLE.
FROM JANUARY 1ST TO APRIL 10TH
OF THIS YEAR ROBBERIES IN THE
NEW YORK TRANSIT SYSTEM ARE UP
MORE THAN 70% YEAR-OVER-YEAR.
FELONY ASSAULT IN THE SUBWAY
HAVE INCREASED BY 28%, GRAND
LARCENY, GORDON TO THE NYPD, IS
UP BY MORE THAN 100%.
THOSE ARE ALL CRIMES OF
VIOLENCE.
AND THAT’S JUST UNDERGROUND.
THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING ON
THE STREETS AND IF YOU DON’T
KNOW IT, YOU JUST GOT BACK TO
THE COUNTRY AFTER A WHILE.
ACCORDING TO ABC NEWS, ABOUT 11%
OF VIOLENT CRIME IN THE CITY OF
LOS ANGELES INVOLVED A HOMELESS
PERSON, 2018, 13% IN 2019 AND
15% IN 2020.
IF THAT WAS A GRAPH, IT WOULD
LOOK LIKE THAT.
KEEP IN MIND, THE HOMELESS MAKE
UP ABOUT 1% OF THE TOTAL
POPULATION OF LOS ANGELES BUT
THEY ARE INVOLVED IN NEARLY A
FIFTH OF ALL VIOLENT CRIMES IN
THE CITY.
BUT IGNORE IT, IT’S NOT
HAPPENING.
GET EVERYONE WHO LIVES HERE
KNOWS THAT IT IS HAPPENING
BECAUSE THE NUMBERS GO UP EVERY
YEAR AND IF YOU HAVE KIDS YOU
KNOW IT’S HAPPENING BECAUSE IT’S
THE SAME STORY IN THE SCHOOLS.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL
RESOURCE OFFICERS TOLD
FOX BUSINESS THAT SCHOOLS ARE
"SEEING MORE AGGRESSION IN TERMS
OF FIGHTS.
SOMETIMES THEY ARE SHOVING
MATCHES AND SOMETIMES THEY FLAT
OUT ASSAULTS."
IT’S MORE MISBEHAVIOR -- IN
SCHOOLS.
IT DIDN’T USED TO HAPPEN, IT’S
HAPPENING NOW.
MORE AMERICAN FAMILIES HAD GUNS
AT HOME 50 YEARS AGO THAN THEY
DO NOW ACCORDING TO THE RAND
CORPORATION, WHICH STUDIED THIS.
45% OF AMERICAN HOMES HAD A GUN
IN 1980.
IN 2016, THAT HAD DROPPED TO
32%.
SO THE PROBLEM IS NOT THAT WE
ARE MORE ARMS THAN WE WERE, THE
PROBLEM IS THAT PEOPLE HAVE
CHANGED, YOUNG MEN HAVE CHANGED,
THEY ARE MORE VIOLENT.
WHY?
THAT’S THE BIPARTISAN
CONVERSATION WE NEED TO HAVE
NOW.
IN THAT CONVERSATION HAS BEEN
DROWNED OUT BY LUNATIC ATTENTION
SEEKERS WHO ARE HOPING TO WIN
THE NEXT ELECTION.
BUT WE DON’T NEED THEM NOW.
NEVER MIND YOUR ELECTION.
THERE’S SOMETHING REALLY WRONG,
AND WE CAN FIGURE IT OUT IF WE
TRY.
THERE WILL PROBABLY BE A LOT OF
CAUSES.
THE USE OF ANTIDEPRESSANTS IN
THIS COUNTRY IS INCREASING
DRAMATICALLY.
BETWEEN 1991 AND 20 TEAM TOTAL
SSRI CONSUMPTION INCREASED IN
THE U.S. BY MORE THAN 3000%.
3000%.
FOR MEMBER COMEDIES ARE SUPPOSED
TO REDUCE MENTAL ILLNESS.
THAT’S A REAL STAT, PUBLISHED IN
THE MEDICAL BARREL OF SCIENCE.
IF NOT JUST THIS COUNTRY, AND
CANADA, STATE-FUNDED ENTER TO
PRESENT PRESCRIPTIONS FOR YOUNG
PEOPLE DOUBLED OVER THE LAST
DECADE.
THEN, DURING THE LOCKDOWNS COME
SSRI PRESCRIPTIONS INCREASED
EVEN MORE.
A FIRM AS A GROUP CALLED EXPRESS
SCRIPTS REPORTED THAT
ANTIDEPRESSION PRESCRIPTIONS
WENT UP BY MORE THAN 20% DURING
COVID.
ACCORDING TO THE LATEST FIGURES,
MORE THAN 40 MILLION AMERICANS
ARE NOW TAKING PSYCHOACTIVE
DRUGS.
THAT’S ROUGHLY ONE AND TEN.
SO AGAIN, THE POINT OF THESE
DRUGS IS TO MAKE YOU HEALTHIER
MENTALLY, TO REDUCE SUICIDE AND
VIOLENCE GET SUICIDE RATES AND
RATES OF VIOLENCE ARE SPIKING.
WE DON’T KNOW THAT THAT’S
CAUSATION, BUT IT’S WORTH
LOOKING AT.
OF COURSE IT’S IMMORAL TO
CRITICIZE BIG PHARMA, COULD WE
USE AN HONEST CONVERSATION ABOUT
THIS?
YES.
IMMEDIATELY.
CLEARLY SOMETHING IS GOING ON.
WATCH.
>> THREE MAJOR MEDICAL
ASSOCIATIONS, INCLUDING THE
AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS
HAPTICHAVE TOGETHER DECLARED A
NATIONAL STATE OF EMERGENCY IN
CHILDREN’S MENTAL HEALTH CAUSED
BY COVID.
PARENTS REPORT GRIEF AND ANXIETY
AND DEPRESSION AMONG CHILDREN
CITING SCHOOL CLOSURES AND
FORCED ISOLATIONS THE PRIMARY
CULPRIT.
SUICIDE ATTEMPT AMONG
ADOLESCENTS ARE RISING SHARPLY,
MOST ACUTELY AMONG
12-17-YEAR-OLD GIRLS.
51% SINCE THE START OF THE
PANDEMIC.
>> Tucker: OH, SO THE
LOCKDOWNS DRAMATICALLY INCREASED
THE INCIDENCE OF MENTAL ILLNESS
AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE AND IN TEN
DAYS WE SEEM TO GO
MASS SHOOTINGS BY MENTALLY ILL
YOUNG PEOPLE.
COULD THERE BE A CONNECTION?
THAT’S NOT FINGER-POINTING,
THAT’S NOT TO BLAME B-17 FOR
YESTERDAY’S SHOOTING, WE ARE NOT
THAT LOW, WE ARE NOT JOE BIDEN.
BUT IF PEOPLE ARE BECOMING
MENTALLY ILL BECAUSE THEY ARE
DISCONNECTED FROM OTHERS, WHAT
CAN WE DO TO CONNECT THEM TO
OTHERS AND THEREBY REDUCE THE
INCIDENCE OF MENTAL ILLNESS?
THAT’S A REAL CONVERSATION.
IS THERE A MORE IMPORTANT ONE?
MEANWHILE, MORE THAN 100,000
PEOPLE JUST DIED OF ODs AND
THE PANDEMIC IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
SOME OF THAT.
WATCH.
>> NEW NUMBERS OUT TODAY FROM
THE CDC SHOW HOW DRUG OVERDOSES
HAVE SURGED DURING THE PANDEMIC.
MORE THAN 107,000 AMERICANS DIED
OF DRUG OVERDOSES IN 2021.
IF THAT’S THE HIGHEST ANNUAL
DEATH TOLL EVER RECORDED AND A
15% INCREASE FROM THE YEAR BEFOR
BEFORE.
DEATHS INVOLVING FENTANYL, METH,
AND COCAINE, ROSE SHARPLY.
>> Tucker: OKAY, SO PEOPLE ARE
DOING MORE DRUGS, THEY ARE MORE
UNSTABLE, THEY ARE KILLING
THEMSELVES MORE OFTEN, AND IN
SOME RARE CASES, THEY ARE
KILLING OTHERS.
KIND OF MIND-SET WOULD IT TAKE
TO GO MURDER CHILDREN IN AN
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL?
YOU ARE SO DISCONNECTED FROM
OTHER HUMAN BEINGS THAT THAT
SEEMS OKAY TO YOU.
WHAT COULD BE ADDING TO THE
FEELING OF DISCONNECTION WE HAVE
FROM ONE ANOTHER?
WHILE, IN 2020, ADULTS IN THE
UNITED STATES SPENT AN AVERAGE
OF EIGHT HOURS EVERY DAY ON
DIGITAL MEDIA, STARING AT A
SCREEN.
THE LOCKDOWNS MADE IT WORSE.
THEY ARE NOT THE ONLY CAUSE BUT
THEY’RE DEFINITELY EXACERBATING
IT.
AT 20% JUMP FROM 2019.
ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO SPENT AN
AWFUL LOT OF TIME ONLINE DURING
THE PANDEMIC WAS THE SHOOTER.
HE REPORTEDLY PLAYED A LOT OF
CALL OF DUTY INSTEAD OF GOING
OUTSIDE.
THE SHOOTER IN BUFFALO ALSO
SPENT A LOT OF TIME ONLINE AS
WELL.
IN FACT, HE BLAMES THE INTERNET
FOR RADICALIZING HIM.
I SPENT ALL MOST YOU’RE PLANNING
THIS ATTACK, HE WROTE ON
APRIL 26TH, OH HOW TIME FLIES,
IF I COULD GO BACK, MAYBE I
WOULD TELL MYSELF TO GET THE F
OFF FOR CHIN AND GET AN ACTUAL
LIFE.
TOO LATE FOR THAT NOW.
THAT’S NOT AN ARGUMENT FOR
CENSORING THOSE OR ANY OTHER
SITES, IT’S AN ARGUMENT FOR
EXPERIENCING REAL LIFE, NATURE,
OTHER PEOPLE, ANIMALS.
ANYTHING BUT A SCREEN BURIED
STARING AT A SCREEN ALL DAY PUTS
YOU INTO YOUR OWN WORLD AND IN
SOME SMALL NUMBER OF CASES, IT
DRIVES YOU INSANE, MAKES YOU
MENTALLY ILL AND VIOLENT.
THAT’S VERY OBVIOUS.
IT’S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY
PEOPLE IN SILICON VALLEY DON’T
LET THEIR OWN KIDS LOSE
THEMSELVES IN THEIR STUPID
IPAD.
BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF 2013 AFTER
A MASS SHOOTING, THE LATE
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER IDENTIFY THE
PROBLEM.
WE HAVE A LOT OF MENTALLY ILL
PEOPLE AND WE NEED TO STOP
IGNORING THEM.
OBVIOUSLY WE’VE IGNORED THAT
WARNING, SO HERE IT IS AGAIN.
>> HE NEEDED HELP.
30 YEARS AGO THE COPS WOULD HAVE
BROUGHT HIM TO A PSYCHIATRIC
EMERGENCY ROOM, HE PROBABLY
WOULD HAVE GOTTEN ANTIPSYCHOTICS
THAT HE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN
HOSPITALIZED FOR A COUPLE OF
WEEKS.
THAT’S THE WAY IT WAS DONE IN
THE ’70s WHEN I PRACTICED
PSYCHIATRY, BUT TODAY THAT
DOESN’T HAPPEN.
THE COPS LEFT, HE WAS LEFT ON
HIS OWN, HE WAS A MAN WHO
SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN ON HIS OWN,
HE SHOULD HAVE HAD THE STATE
LOOKING AFTER HIM, AND HE ENDED
UP KILLING PEOPLE.
LOOK, YOU WANT TO RESPECT THE
CIVIL LIBERTIES OF EVERYBODY,
BUT THERE IS A POINT IN WHICH IF
YOU DON’T TAKE CONTROL OF PEOPLE
WHO ARE CLEARLY OUT OF TOUCH
WITH REALITY, YOU ARE DAMAGING
THEM, EXPOSING THEM, AND OF
COURSE TRAGICALLY EXPOSING A LOT
OF INNOCENTS AROUND THEM.
>> Tucker: YEAH, EXACTLY.
THIS STUFF IS COMPLICATED.
THE HUMAN MIND IS COMPLICATED,
AND IF THE ENVIRONMENT CHANGES,
SO DOES THE MIND.
PEOPLE CAN’T GO OUTSIDE OR TALK
TO OTHER PEOPLE OR SPEND EIGHT
HOURS A DAY STARING AT A SCREEN.
IF THEY ARE ON BRAIN-CHANGING
CHEMICALS IN HUGE NUMBERS, TENS
OF BILLIONS OF PEOPLE, YOU THINK
THAT HAS AN EFFECT?
YEAH.
WHAT EFFECT?
IS ANYONE STARTING WITH
MURDERERS, NOT JUST MASS
MURDERERS, BUT ALL MURDERERS
HAVE IN COMMON?
APPARENTLY NOT.
IT WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW.
INSTEAD OF TELLING US ABOUT THE
GUN LOBBY.
PLEASE, NO ONE BELIEVES THAT.
AND WHY, BY THE WAY, IF THE
ANSWER TO MASS SHOOTINGS ALWAYS
UNIVERSAL GUN CONFISCATION?
SHOULDN’T WE FOCUS ON THE PEOPLE
WHO DID IT?
ON THE DANGEROUS PEOPLE?
IT’S LIKE FORCING ENTIRE
POPULATION TO DRUG REHAB IN
RESPONSE TO FENTANYL CRISIS.
PROBABLY BETTER TO FOCUS ON THE
ADDICTS.
WHY DID THEY GET ADDICTED, HOW
CAN WE HELP THEM?
