Don't Ban Guns, Ban Drugs!

The debate in the US about how to keep kids safe is getting to be such a farce that it's hard to watch.
Even England is warning them against gun control. 





So, ban drugs or guns? I'm not talking about illegal drugs, but your everyday variety prescription drug. Here is an interesting list of killers on legal drugs, used mainly in fighting depression.


Have you seen the ad for Cymbalta for depression? The ad says, "If you have thoughts of suicide, let your doctor know." Well, duh! You take a psychopathic drug for depression and it may result in thoughts of suicide?

That list is depressing, but no-one is willing to talk about the real issue. Mentally ill people not being adequately monitored by health professionals, and being left out in our streets to fend for themselves. 
Remember the guy on the bus who beheaded and ate an innocent young man by using a knife? He's out on day passes, after only 4 years, while his victim got lifeCan we blame health care professionals if this guy goes ballistic again? Probably not because of our soft lefty judges, but they should be held accountable. 
We have abandoned the depressed, drug addicted, mentally ill, and left them to fend for themselves because the lefties think it is inhuman to put them into nice safe health centers where their medication's can be monitored, and they can have a chance to have a normal life. Just drive by the Vancouver in-site area to see how well the lefty feel good drug centers are working, but make sure your doors are locked. It's not a pretty sight. It is a festering sore, that lefties think is helping drug addicts. Unbelievable.  
When in doubt, blame guns. It's easy, and politically all the lefty special interest groups love it. If it only saves one life!!! Where have we heard that before? Oh, right it's all the lefties crying about how abortions kill babies! Oops, that's them yapping about gun control. 
As a female, this well dressed Walmart shopper from Alaska is more in line with my thinking, especially since gang rapes are on the rise. 
    
 Why do lefties cry about guns being bad? What are they scared of? If only the young girl in India would have had a gun, she might have been alive today, instead of suffering a horrific death at the hands of six deviant, sick men. Even if she had still been killed, at least, she would have been able to try to defend herself. Instead she had to endure over an hour of being gang raped and having a metal rod shoved through her body. Try to imagine that she was your daughter. Why do lefties want women and children to be defenseless? Why do they care more about criminals and their rights, than their own families? I just can't understand it.

Yes,but it wasn't just the work of "Lefties",it was all Provincial governments in Canada,of every political stripe,who saw the opportunity to cut a huge piece of the health care budget by closing down the mental institutions.

The result has been what I refer to as Canada's real "shame", no, not the treatment of Indians who are actually victims of their own politicians,but our mentally ill.

So, we have thousands of mentally ill people sleeping on the streets,and no politician will touch the issue.Why?

Because the mentally ill have no effective advocates,and most importantly,they don't VOTE.

If they were organized and blockaded roads,they might get somewhere,in the meantime,they're kept in our attic,figuratively.

Drugs are the preferred choice of the HC system,simply because it's cheap compared to thousands of hours of psychiatric treatment for mental health patients.

The situation is not about to change.

And all this time I thought it was the the tighties that refused to pay to put them into nice safe health centers where their medication's can be monitored...

From the CDC's U.S. Adult Mental Illness Surveillance Report:

•published studies report that about 25% of all U.S. adults have a mental illness and that nearly 50% of U.S. adults will develop at least one mental illness during their lifetime.

HUGE problem. Best solution: concealed carry for all (except the (medicated?) detectably mentally ill). Even then, just the detection "leakage" from upwards of 50 million head cases will be enough to generate a lot of school shooting incidents.
