Nearly Every Mass Shooting In The Last 20 Years Shares One Thing In Common, And It Isn’t Weapons
Nearly every mass shooting incident in the last twenty years, and multiple other instances of suicide and isolated shootings all share one thing in common, and its not the weapons used.
The overwhelming evidence suggests the single largest common factor in all of these incidents is that all of the perpetrators were either actively taking powerful psychotropic drugs or had been at some point in the immediate past before they committed their crimes.

Killswitch Engage
Turns out that the smart gun maker Armatix GmbH has a patent for technology that could remotely disable one of their smart guns when a certain signal is sent from a satellite in orbit. Sorry, I don’t want to take the chance that someone could render my guns into funny shaped rocks. No thank you.
