At a speech at a National Rifle Association (NRA) leadership forum on Friday, Trump listed a number of controversial and unproven factors that he said he’d direct the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to investigate as possibly causing the ongoing scourge of mass shooting afflicting the country.
“We have to look at whether common psychiatric drugs, as well as genetically engineered cannabis and other narcotics, are causing psychotic breaks” that lead to gun violence, he said.
Trump, who is running for the Republican 2024 presidential nomination, said he’d “direct the FDA to convene an independent outside panel to investigate” his theory, as well as whether the issue is related to “transgender hormone treatments and ideology,” which he claimed increases “the risk of extreme depression, aggression and even violence.”
