The term ”reefer madness“ promptly started trending as a result

Laura Ingraham doesn’t think it’s lax gun laws that are contributing to the regular mass shootings happening in this country, but rather, expanded legalization of marijuana. On Tuesday night, the Fox News host suggested that weed is actually a driving factor behind the mental state of mass shooters.

During “The Ingraham Angle” on Tuesday, the host brought on Dr. Russell Kaymer, who is the medical director of partners and safety, to question why people aren’t “talking more about the pot psychosis-violent behavior connection.”

“This is something that the medical community is well aware of. Yet, you get the sense that the billions of dollars on the line are more important than our kids,” Ingraham said seriously. “And what’s happening especially to young men in the United States, who are frequent users of this high-potency THC that’s now in marijuana products sold legally in dispensaries across the United States. I mean, this at the very least needs a serious national conversation.”
======================================================
Yup. Gotta blame it on anything but guns. And not just guns but certain design guns. Blame on pot? I should have killed my wife years ago.

One can't help but wonder what the excuse is for Laura Ingraham's psychosis.

Good lord. Pot turned that kid into a homicidal maniac? What year is this, 1935?
Theres nothing people wont say to advance their agenda.

Good lord. Pot turned that kid into a homicidal maniac? What year is this, 1935?
Theres nothing people wont say to advance their agenda.

The agenda is "literally anything, no matter how implausible, to avoid confronting the actual issue in any way."

Of course, there's disagreement as to what the actual issue is, but enough people think it's "firearms", or more specifically "the various AR-15 design variants" that it's almost a meme at this point - people say we need to ban them, and republicans come up with some reason why it's another issue entirely.

Personally, I think they should just point out the same thing over and over again, the mantra of "guns don't kill people, people kill people."
Which has the benefit of being entirely true, if totally unhelpful for the situation.

That might be why they don't use it exclusively, but some of the crazy shit they say to mix it up just makes them look silly.

But at this point, it'd be easier to pay for free mental health care for the entire country than go through the barriers blocking actually banning firearms, even partially.

Would probably need to add multiple justices to the SCOTUS, specifically those who will rule against 2nd amendment rights being individual, and then overturn the rulings that say it is.
And then probably need to solidify it with a constitutional amendment, but you won't get sufficient states to ratify it without changes in viewpoint in a bunch of those states, then have those viewpoints change the makeup of those state's legislative bodies over probably a decade of time.
Not to mention the nigh-100% chance of violence from a few people who would be highly upset by that.


Sure, it's possible the people's opinions have and are changing, but politics lags behind the opinion of the people.

It sometimes seems like every suggestion for aiding the situation comes up aginst the rights of the shooters. If that kid in Texas had gone into that gun shop on his birthday and been denied the right to buy that rifle because of all the red flags in his past the uproar would have been heard in DC. If the same red flags had triggered a mental health assessment the uproar would have been the same.

 

[Ishm]

Fox. Fox psychosis.

This is the actual reality. Fox itself causes far more social harm than pot. Have no idea why anyone watches Ingraham. She is so pitifully dumb. Her stories and the so called experts she brings in are such obvious frauds that it's scary to think that she has an audience

If the same red flags had triggered a mental health assessment the uproar would have been the same.

There are legitimate reasons to be concerned about that - our understanding of the human mind is by no means complete, and it's entirely possible, even probable, that we'll make a mistake and block some people from having firearms who don't pose any threat, assuming we go the route of gating firearm ownership on mental state.
Not to mention the potential for the definitions of who is blocked being changed in future to block more or less people, for political reasons.

But I actually was referring to providing mental health care, for free, to every single person residing in the USA or it's territories.
Combine that with educating people on mental health, also destigmatizing talking about it to and with other people.
That doesn't infringe on any of the barriers surrounding the firearms question, and would probably help at least some of the people who have issues like those that led to previous shootings...avoid that.

In short, sidestep the firearms question for something that might actually be possible to address without battering down the barricades protecting it, in the judicial and legislative branches of both states and federal government.

Funny enough, Fox has time for this endless drivel and nonsense, but they are going to be the only major news network that not covering the 1/6 insurrection committee presentation live.

Makes sense. By it's own admission, Fox doesn't present real news. Just entertainment tailored to it's audience.
