NRA’s Oliver North blames ADHD drug Ritalin for mass shooting — and then admits: ‘I’m certainly not a doctor’
Newly-appointed National Rifle Association (NRA) President Oliver North on Sunday suggested that ADHD drugs and violent TV shows were to blame for mass shootings at schools.
During a discussion about the recent school shootings in Santa Fe, Oliver told Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace that the NRA had developed a solution.“The problem we’ve got is we’re trying like the dickens to treat the symptoms without treating the disease,” he continued. “And the disease in this case isn’t [the right to bear arms in] the Second Amendment. The disease is youngsters who are steeped in a culture of violence, they’ve been drugged in many cases. Nearly all of these perpetrators are male and they’re young teenagers in most cases.”
