How about this a starting point.  Anyone with a medical marijuana card, self-identify as a recreational user, or has neen arrested for possession (even if charges are dropped) or lives in a house with anyone that meets these 3 scenarios are barred from not only buying a gun, but must turn in any existing guns.

The researchers used an analysis technique called "Mendelian randomisation" to show a causal relationship between schizophrenia and an increased risk of cannabis use.

I think you misread the article, so how about no.

How about we change the nature of political and economic systems that drives these behaviors.  How about we recognize that mental health issues are real and begin to apply the same research vigor toward mental health that we do toward cancer.. Ohh we wont cause we cant derive profit from understanding why the brain goes haywire. So we politicize, send thoughts and prayers (laughable) then move on to ridiculous proclamations that health care is not a right, its too expensive, list 10 other lame excuses and wait patiently for the next mass shooting.

If we can't start at "thou shalt not use drugs and have guns" I don't know where we can start.

There is enough research out there to safely say:  Playing interactive video games is a drug.

This dude was seriously screwed up. Now we have deadly evidence of it. 


A great read is:  RESET YOUR CHILD'S BRAIN  by Victoria Dunckley, MD.   It's a surprisingly easy read and goes into detail about the psychological effects of exposure to screens and electronic devices.  No doubt this guy 'symptoms' are discussed in detail in the book.

^This guy's problems went way, way beyond too much screen time.
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

He was probably an undercover cuck/libtard/"muslime"/antifa-type trying to further the trans/homosexual/pedophile agenda or something. It just makes sense.

Sounds like Morgan & Morgan's lawsuit will be against Sleiman, Chicago Pizza, the game bar, and potentially the city of Jacksonville.

Because they're clearly all partially responsible for a random act of violence that could have happened anywhere.

Stay classy, guys.

Is that it? I figured they'd go after the tournament organizers too.

FOR THE PEOPLE!   ::)

When my wife saw Morgan and Morgan was suing last night she asked me "Who are they going to sue?  The shooter is dead."  I pretty much rattled off that exact list.  I'm suprised EA Sports isn't listed too.

Yeah, me too. EA's got some deep pockets. Every ambulance chasing shyster worth his vampire fangs knows that local businesses aren't going to be the real tragedy payday.

^Sorry, forgot to mention EA.

They're a likely defendant as well.

Yes, I have read that some of the gamers have been clamoring for security at these events for some time now.

Turns out the shooting wasn't caused by mental health issues, or easy access to firearms, or even lack of security. It was actually caused by paperwork.

I'm really glad the fire marshal was able to crack the case.

File your permits kids, before someone else gets murdered in cold blood.

QuoteA fire department statement said the restaurant's last approved building layout was submitted back in 2009. But the restaurant altered the layout plan without approval to create the GLHF Game Bar, where this past weekend's Madden NFL 19 video gaming tournament was held. That makes it an un-permitted game area, the fire department said.

" If Chicago Pizza would not have altered the layout plan by creating an un-permitted game room area, the video game tournament would not have occurred, and thus, this incident would not have occurred at the Jacksonville Landing," the fire department statement read. "

That's unfortunate wording, to say the least. While that may technically be true, it's irrelevant. And what if they had filed the appropriate paperwork in time and it had been approved?

If they want to take action against the business, fine. That's fair. But no reason to try and link it to the shooting.

I work next door at the Times Union PAC. Even the well known musicians must pass through security EVERY DAY. Whether performance or rehearsal, our bags are checked!

Not sure how they did not have basic security at the door (of Chicago Pizza). Maybe they did?
