Yep, Maryland Shall Issue already posted some good guidance. I bet CCW classes start filling up soon.
I've long had the belief that what seems like insanity, psychosis, or any other "scientific" support for extremely evil behavior, really is either the choice to be evil or a weakness that permits evil to manifest and take over an individual. This is a broad spectrum, from a lack of ethics to a complete disregard and active destruction of innocent lives.
It is a choice. Most of us fail to be perfect but continue to fight it, others accept it, either over time, perhaps stopping at some intermediate step, while other move on to the pinnacle of evil.
For dogs? My grandfather, raised on a farm in North Carolina and WWII vet told me his little brother got parasites as a toddler. The local doctor had his little brother chew tobacco and swallow the juice. The next day he was shitting worms.
Well, I have been a smoker (off and on). I don't get flu shots. I don't get sick often, maybe once a year, with a cold or a stomach flu. Rarely bad enough to miss work, just work from home to keep my colleagues to from catching what I've got. Outside of that, my only real problem is an occasional kidney stone. I go for years without taking an antibiotic.
If it really is nicotine that does the work, a non-smoker could consider low doses of a nicotine replacement therapy, e.g. nicorette or it's copies from Walgreens, CVS, etc. I have used it for stopping smoking if I find it difficult and use the small lozenges.
Family is a bit of a mess. Per Wikipedia, Armie's father, Michael Armand Hammer, has a sister Casey Hammer that wrote a book,
In 2012, his estranged sister, Casey Hammer, wrote a book that claims that she was sexually abused at the hand of both her brother Michael, and her father Julian. The book is called Surviving My Birthright. [17]
So over on reddit, they were arguing that it is white males that are responsible for most mass shootings. I provided the following analysis. I expect I'll either be blocked, doxxed or both by the end of the day.
In the 2020 census, white alone or white in combination accounted for 71% of the population (235.4 mil). Between 1982 and March 2023, whites were responsible for 52% of mass shootings (73 of 141), https://www.statista.com/statistics/476456/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-shooter-s-race/. Men are roughly 49.5% of the population. Therefore, of approximately 116.5 mil white males, about 1 in 1.6 mil white males are mass shooters. It is estimated, https://www.reuters.com/world/us/new-study-estimates-16-million-us-identify-transgender-2022-06-10/, that about 0.5% of the US population is are transexual, or about 1.64 mil (13 to adult). Therefore, given the information given in the tweet, that is 3 in 1.6 mil trans mass shooters compared to 1 in 1.6 mil white male mass shooters.
