That is my point.

According to the FDA’s MedWatch data, between 2004 and 2012, there were more than four hundred thousand adverse reactions from psychiatric drugs reported to the federal drug agency, including drug induced attempted and completed suicides and homicides. While the FDA itself estimates that less than 1% of all serious adverse events are reported directly to it>

I’m sure Democrats have the ultimate answer but it’s locked away in the same place Schiff keeps his evidence of collusion. Just be patient, I hear they want to do a big reveal next election. They only have a few more low hanging fruit to question. Any day now.

That is my point.
Yes, exactly.

And the left loves to blow up Trump's "This carnage ends here" statement without the context that he was referring to the level of violence and crime in the cities.

I've seen this excerpted in many liberal attacks as if Trump was referring to something else.

Indiana mall shooter brought multiple weapons, good Samaritan who shot him credited with saving countless lives

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...cred-rcna38755

Quote:
The suspected gunman in the Indiana mall mass shooting carried two rifles, a pistol and more than 100 rounds of ammo, authorities said Monday, and the good Samaritan who fatally shot him is credited with saving “countless lives.”

Sapirman stayed in the bathroom for 62 minutes, then exited and began firing near and into the mall's food court with a Sig Sauer model M400 5.56 caliber rifle, killing three people.

Elisjsha Dicken, 22, of Seymour, Indiana, was at the mall shopping with his girlfriend, saw the shooter, and within minutes of Sapirman first opening fire, returned fire with a handgun and killed Sapirman, Ison said.

"His actions were nothing short of heroic," Ison said. "He engaged the gunman from quite a distance with a handgun, was very proficient in that, very tactically sound. And as he moved to close in on the suspect, he was also motioning for people to exit behind him."
Sig Sauer M400, hey, that's my rifle.

Under the circumstances, not something I would want to broadcast casually...

Should never broadcast what type of gun or how many you have. Keep em guessing

Well, it's just a fact, that's all.

Why do you need a rifle with an 800 RPM cyclic rate? Are the varmints that prolific?

No, of course not. I don't "need" it, I merely desire it. I do like to throw down a crap-ton of rounds on scattering wild hogs on the ranch, and I like shooting it for target practice. Set up 10 targets and see if I can get 3 rounds on each one in 15 secs, etc.

Brb, let me check... back; yep, my M400 is still sitting quietly in my gun safe. Hasn't shown any desire to be part of a mass shooting.

I don't need a car that goes over 60 mph, and I don't need a computer that is capable of playing games. But I want them.

A meaningless statistic given that one can hardly operate a trigger finger anywhere near that fast. Remember these are not machine guns as the gun banners would have you believe. We are talking about less capable civilian look alikes here.

Exactly and one might also say the difference between a free man and a slave is the right to have those things.

I heard that the Mall Shooting Good Samaritan fired 10 shots, starting at a distance of 40 yards, and hitting the assailant with 8 of them. That is some darn fine shooting and far better that anything that the NYPD could pull off.
