Another analysis of the situation: https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/remington-v-soto-why-everyone-should-keep-calm-and-carry-on/

Mellow greetings all- Long time lurker and reader out here in Ocean Co. Decided it was finally time to get into the mix and converse a bit, even though I've hopefully got less than a year left here. I spent most of last month touring the free states, so yeah it's time to go. Until then though, might as well get a little more involved. Can't be sure I can contribute much, but only one way to find out lol -Duck

The popularity, prevalence and over prescribing of SSRIs is a sad fact of life! Little billy tells mommy he's sad and depressed sometimes. Mommy takes him to the doctor who 9 times out of 10 will prescribe an SSRI instead of referring him to a Psychologist of Psychiatrist that is trained to handle these matters! I say take away the ability to prescribe SSRIs to those under 25 from family doctors and allow only Psychiatrists to dispense the drugs while closely monitoring their patients and advising the family of the potential effects and to keep weapons out of their hands until we know how they will react to the medication! The simple steps I outlined above would have a much greater effect on reducing these shootings than banning guns! Just think, years ago we did not have all these shootings but the guns were always there. What did change is the invention and widespread usage of many new Selective Serotonin re-uptake inhibitors. The idiots just need to wake up and realize it's not the damn guns that are causing the problem! Adam Lanza was known to be on SSRIs when he killed all those children. So let's just sue Remington!

Another possibility is that he did inherit them, on paper, but they were held in trust by his mother until he turned 21. Maybe, he just decided to help himself to their use when he turned 16.... Would be nice if the media did some real investigative work and reporting....

"The study led by Oxford University scientists and published in PLOS Medicine journal, found that young adults between the ages of 15 and 24 who had prescriptions for the drugs were significantly more likely to be convicted of a homicide, assault, robbery, arson, kidnapping, sexual offense or other violent crime when they were taking the medications than when they weren’t." The problem with SSRI drugs is that any family doctor or PA can prescribe them but DO NOT have the psychiatric training to know that patients under 25 require close supervision since it is impossible to know just how the drugs will effect any given patient! they may not admit it but I guarantee you that 90% of mass shootings by those under 25 involved the use of SSRI drugs! Guns were the easy tool but the cause is the drugs that are prescribed at the drop of a hat by practitioners who know not what they do!

I second that... I remember reading somewhere that because the brain is still developing as a teenager, SSRIs essentially (to paraphrase here) blur the distinction of what is right vs wrong and remove any cognizant barriers of logic which would prevent someone from doing such harm to begin with. As far as the why...... I have to wonder whether it had something to do with the girl who was first shot. I don’t recall reading whether she was a random victim or if he was acquainted with her in some way. For instance - he asked her out, she said no. Asked her out again, she said no again. Asked a third time, gets the “Leave me the F alone already!” Starts fantasizing about committing an atrocity - and if he was on those antidepressants, the SSRIs would have removed any of those inhibitions. I’m pretty sure that that douchenozzle down in Santa Barbara (I think it was) was the same way - kept getting rejected by girls he asked out and was denied. These guys just can’t handle the Heisman...

This site has dem mods. Welcome again. I live in central jersey. I can tell you haven’t been raised in jersey by that response. Since there is clearly a north south and central jersey. Enjoy. And by the wAy. Being from nj. We like to tit for tat shit and yenta it up. So have a thick skin.

Friend just sent me this picture

We are now offering the Radical Arms FO13 at $699.00 wit ha Lifetime Warranty! If you think the other brand is worth TWICE the price - Buy it! Radical makes a very good quality firearm w/o breaking the bank. And to those who say differently - you don't put a Lifetime Warranty on junk because you're married to it for a very long time...........

....90 days after hitting the 27,000 mark. Apparently, the market also thinks the impeachment party is just another Dog and Pony show. S&P 500 and NASDAQ also hit new records.

Oh, I gotcha. I'm used to car forum guys using a low post count as a measure of like, value or credibility or something, as if you can't have a whole life before you join a forum lol. Didn't realize post 1 was actually post 0. Crap. I'm going to spend the next hour wondering if I'm even here.

Worth the Gooooooogle Gang members joining the Military and the training/tactics learned are used with bad intentions... The Miltitary is made up from the Good, the Bad and the Ugly..... Just like the rest of the world.

I'm sorry, but if I said I voted for that poor excuse for an Irishman (didn't), I would not want to be accepted under any circumstances. I mean, I'm a fair handed guy, and maybe still use my left turn signal occasionally, but there are limits.

Welcome to the Funny Farm.......

Not a trick. How you answer will be THE critical factor as to your acceptance here. You could admit you voted for Murphy and still be accepted if you answer correctly.

Suicide risk and antidepressants Most antidepressants are generally safe, but the FDA requires that all antidepressants carry black box warnings, the strictest warnings for prescriptions. In some cases, children, teenagers and young adults under 25 may have an increase in suicidal thoughts or behavior when taking antidepressants, especially in the first few weeks after starting or when the dose is changed. "Correlation does NOT equal causation." I hate when dumbasses use that statement incorrectly. The fact is, scientist correlate data all the time to find "cause". In fact, the Drug companies have to use disclaimers because these issues are correlated in their OWN STUDIES. It is for the FACT, the FDA requires they list aggressive behaviors as a side effect. https://www.bmj.com/content/358/bmj.j3697/rr-4

Welcome! Every bit helps. The ocean is made of a bazillion drops.

Go Duck yourself.

What amazes me even more than this is how rapidly an SSRI is prescribed nowadays for a non-psychological symptom. Case in point - years ago, while I was engaged, my wife had been prescribed something for her (what I believe was a misdiagnosis, on a side note) “depression”. The name of the drug eludes me at the moment (trying to get two wound up kids down for afternoon nap as I write this) - but she was eventually weened off of it. Skip ahead several months later, and I see this commercial for a guy with horrible back pain. The announcer says, “When your normal pain medication can’t help, perhaps it’s time to talk to your doctor about prescribing [wife’s drug] for controlling chronic back pain...” I nearly shit - here I knew that this was a drug altering brain chemistry, and now you’re marketing it for other ailments?? A doctor I once saw (not my regular GP) tried to prescribe me imipramine to help with something - when I asked him what classification of antidepressant it was and he said “SSRI”, I refused it, told him I didn’t want it. Bitchass called it into CVS anyway. It ended up going - untouched - into that bin at the police station where you dispose of unwanted prescriptions. Like the guy in “Total Recall” said: ”Don’t f*ck with your brain, pal..... IT AIN’T WORTH IT!!”

It's not always their choice. Depends on their Ins policy. Also they're probably not going to care about about setting precedent. Just on how to get out of this economically and gracefully with their skins.

Is this what you're looking for?

Just wondering... do you take SSRI medications? Asking for a friend.

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0015337 "Conclusions These data provide new evidence that acts of violence towards others are a genuine and serious adverse drug event that is associated with a relatively small group of drugs. Varenicline, which increases the availability of dopamine, and serotonin reuptake inhibitors were the most strongly and consistently implicated drugs. Prospective studies to evaluate systematically this side effect are needed to establish the incidence, confirm differences among drugs and identify additional common features." Way back in 2010 when the above study was published they knew of the correlation between the drugs and the violence but the pharmaceutical companies and gun grabbers are doing all they can to hide the true facts!

FWIW, the only malfunction I've ever had with 3 different 659s is because of a dead primer. None where the gun or magazine was at fault.

Indoor range is 24/7. Most handgun and 22 rifle only. Outdoor ranges are from 0800 or 0900 (on Sundays) to sundown. Centerfire rifles on high power (300 yds) or multipurpose range (200 yds) only. You can fire them at 50 yards. Exception is pistol caliber carbines in certain pits. You supply your own steel targets for rifle. I've been a member for some time and have no desire to go anywhere else. Most of the time I go on weekdays so I can't answer your question regarding availability on weekends. Obviously if they're having some type of competition that will tie up the high power range (rifle) or some of the pits for most handgun competitions.

It's Central Jersey Rifle and Pistol club. Go to their web site. I'm a member there if you want to go and take a look maybe we can work something out.

I heard the gov’t was going to refinance it’s debt at Lending Tree. And Epstein didn’t kill himself.

Still what will probably take place is although they should address the mother for allowing a minor to have access to guns, they’ll probably say she has suffered enough and not charge her. And as nobel as that is, when these parents aren’t charged it’s the whole country that suffers. Both future victims and law abiding gun owners.

WTF yourself? You pop in, say everyone is wrong; yet back it up with nothing. Did Greenday take over your account?

I read another article where they interviewed his neighbor, and they claimed he had access to guns. They claimed he hunted with his dad all the time and was responsible when handling guns. Another possibility was that his mom inherited the guns when the father died. Or, she had her own. Still no reports on how he got them, the LEOs should know by now, unless the MSM wants to suppress it, because the guns were legally owned and he stole it from mom. That would hurt the Liberal "guns bad" narrative too.

You are welcome to leave.

we ARE in good economic position. Whatever the Big Guy and his hot wife had to do with it, I support him. Rather be fat dumb and happy or hungry and believe me; been both.

Out-STANDING!! Correct answer! Welcome to the Forums.

If you deny yourself a desirable revolver because of the internal lock or the use of MIM, you will be missing out on some of the best revolvers Smith has ever built. That's OK, just more for me. Adios, Pizza Bob

Bingo. This is purely punishment because it's 2A related.

They don’t exist in the eyes of the law, but the law will look at them and use it against you. I’m no lawyer but, how is that even a possibility.

Maybe I missed the Remington ad saying: Kill your mom. Steal her firearms. Go go school and kill people.

Are we still thinking that SCOTUS is going to save us????? ...."The Supreme Court has denied Remington Arms Co.'s bid to block a lawsuit filed by families of victims of the Sandy Hook school massacre. The families say Remington should be held liable, as the maker and promoter of the AR-15-style rifle used in the 2012 killings. The court opted not to hear the gun-maker's appeal, in a decision that was announced Tuesday morning. The justices did not include any comment about the case, Remington Arms Co. v. Soto, as they turned it away. Remington had appealed to the highest federal court after the Connecticut Supreme Court allowed the Sandy Hook lawsuit to proceed in March. In recent court filings, Remington says the case "presents a nationally important question" about U.S. gun laws — namely, how to interpret the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which grants broad immunity to gun-makers and dealers from prosecution over crimes committed with their products." https://www.npr.org/2019/11/12/778487920/supreme-court-allows-sandy-hook-families-case-against-remington-to-proceed I wonder if the parents of the two dead kids in Toms River the other day will file lawsuits against Porsche in the SCOTUS, for allowing their son's to die in that high speed crash?

Right answer. You passed the test. Welcome aboard.

Nah, I dont aknowledge that pork roll exists, and ill also argue that theres no "Central" jersey, just north and south

Taylor Ham haha

Welcome! Now for the most important question.........Porkroll or talyor ham?
