Dude – blaming “mind altering drugs” is simply a cheat. Alcohol is a mind-altering drug, but many states allow you to take guns into bars. The issue here is institutionalized racism as well as some of the loosest gun control laws in the nation. This kid went out and bought a gun with no checks or balances. Even if you are correct in your attributions (which you are not), then a check could have indicated he was taking drugs and forbidden him a gun.A gun is a tool with one purpose: killing people. If you don’t recognize that, then you are ignoring a cause as well.
