Its has nothing to do with access to a firearm...legal or not.
I used to smoke pot myself (for about 15 years) not a lot of it, just a puff or 2 after work to wind down and relax...same thing people use a 6 pack of beer for...havent touched any in a few years, but speaking from my own experience...that had nothing to do with it either.
Pot is not that type of drug...
I'm not saying its a good habit by any means, but its no worse than smoking cigarettes (except that its illegal)
Back to the kid...clearly mentally unstable.
Life can do that to you if you're not careful, no drugs or guns required.
Really sorry for the LEO's and their families...that being said, if I was a LEO, and I was on duty, I'd be wearing my
VEST...I know its uncomfortable, heavy, and expensive if the department doesnt furnish it...but so is the alternative. I'm not bashing the LEO's...just thought it may make some of you guys think as you're reading this...it may save your life.
Too bad this
