While the Democrats who see an opportunity to further their agenda are quick to vilify guns as the cause of the Charleston church shooting, the underlying issue of the mental state of the perpetrator carries with it no political advantage and is therefore being largely ignored.

Just as with many of the other instances of mass shootings, it has been discovered that this murderer, Dylann Roof, was a lifelong drug abuser who was under the influence of and addiction to a powerful narcotic medication, Suboxone.

CBS News reported that he had been arrested previously in response to odd, threatening behavior at a retailer in February, an incident in which he was wearing all black, asking about security and staffing levels and found to be carrying Suboxone on his person.
WND reports that Suboxone is prescribed for treatment of patients addicted to methadone, heroin, morphine or other opioid drugs. Drugs.com warns, “[It] should be used as part of a complete treatment plan to include counseling and psychosocial support.”
They also cite warnings from Mental Health Daily of “extreme depression and dysphoria, depersonalization, confusion and anxiety, irritability, mood swings and ‘fear of going crazy.’ These adverse effects can be most acute during the patient’s withdrawal period.” Negative side effects are magnified by mixing the drug with alcohol.
Mental Health Daily also warned, “You may not feel like yourself during the withdrawal, which may cause you to freak out. If you are feeling as though you have become a totally different person … And chemically, you have become a different person – your endorphin and neurotransmitters are different than they were when you started. It will take a while to feel like your ‘old self’ again.”
WND quoted one patient named James who posted on the Mental Health Daily site as saying, “Man this is the toughest thing to go threw [sic] period. I’m about 3 weeks into it and I feel like hurting myself. I have been threw [sic] a lot of stuff in my life but this takes the cake.”
Another poster, Lana, wrote, “I’m going insane!! Suboxone increased my depression, I lack motivation, I was nauseous nonstop, I gained weight. … I lost all motivation and love for life.”
Kris, another suffering the effects of Suboxone addiction added, “My doc won’t refill my prescription. So I am sitting here, restless, irritable, mood swings, feeling like I am going to f*****g snap!!!”
WND Managing Editor David Kupelian noted in his book, “How Evil Works,” it is “simply indisputable that most perpetrators of school shootings and similar mass murders in our modern era were either on – or just recently coming off of – psychiatric medications.”
Given the wealth of evidence that the policies of treating addiction to dangerous drugs by addicting people to more dangerous, more addictive replacements isn’t working, why is that not the first area given review by Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton and others when supposedly seeking out a solution.
Their goal is not to find a solution but to remove the guns from the hands of the American people through any manner possible. Succeeding through the use of a false narrative is still success and still a legitimate path in the eye of the socialist Democrats.
The truth is that guns are not to blame and often the drugs are. A secure border and revamping of medication regimens for drugs which pervert the thought process of individuals would go much further towards correcting the problem than blaming and attempting to outlaw or restrict access to a tool of self defense.
