Democratic presidential candidate and anti-vaccine advocate Robert F Kennedy Jr said during a Twitter Spaces event on Monday that he would not take away people’s guns as a solution to reducing mass shootings and instead pointed the finger at pharmaceutical drugs. “My position on the gun control is I’m not going to take away anybody’s guns,” Mr Kennedy, 69, said in response to a listener-submitted question about gun control while speaking about his political platform with Elon Musk and venture capitalist David Sacks. “I’m a constitutional absolutist. We can argue about whether the Second Amendment was intended to protect guns. That argument has now been settled by the Supreme Court.” Instead, Mr Kennedy made unfounded claims that psychiatric drugs are linked to mass shootings, “There’s something happening in our country right now that is not happening anywhere, that has never happened in human history,” he said. “Guns, the proliferation, clearly, abets violence, but anybody who tells you that they can remove enough guns, AR-15s, by tinkering at the margins and get to the situation they have in western Europe is puling your leg,” he added. “It’s not going to happen.” According to researchers, there’s no evidence for a link between pharmaceutical drugs and mass shootings. Over 10 per cent of the US population takes anti-depressants, and experts say if such medicines were linked to violence, one would expect to see more shootings, and more shootings committed by groups who are prescribed the treatments at a higher rate. "If there was a connection or link, one would expect it to be pronounced, or at least much greater than we are seeing," Dr James Knoll, director of forensic psychiatry at SUNY Upstate Medical University, told Politifact. "Why do we not see increased violence in women? People over 60?" In fact, according to a USA Today review of mass shootings, a minority of school shooters were prescribed medications. "I am unaware of any consistent, credible accounts that provide strong evidence regarding the prevalence of SSRI usage in cases involving school shootings or a causal relationship between SSRIs and school shootings," Daniel Mears, a professor of criminology at Florida State University, told the paper.

Terrified villagers say they are being attacked by 7ft tall armoured aliens that look like the Green Goblin from Spider-Man. Locals described the extraterrestrials as having large heads and yellowish eyes. They claim they have attacked them every night for nearly a month since 11 July. A 15-year-old girl was allegedly grabbed from behind and had her neck cut when she resisted. Community members said they can’t sleep because they are in fear. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The claims have been made by members of the Ikitu indigenous people in the rural district of Alto Nanay, north east of Lima, Peru. They said the aliens are immune to their hunting weapons and called on the Peruvian military to step in to protect them from further interstellar intrusion. Villagers also claimed that the alien prowlers wear protective armour. Community leader Jairo Reátegui Ávila said: “These gentlemen are aliens. “They appear to be armoured like the Green Goblin from Spider-Man. “I shot one of them twice and he wasn’t injured, he rose and disappeared. “We’re very frightened about what’s happening here in our community.” He added: “Their shoes are round-shaped, which they use to float. “They float about one metre from the ground and there is a red light on the heel. “Their heads are long, they wear a mask and their eyes are yellowish. “They are experts at escaping.” Villagers have started carrying out night patrols to hunt down the alien intruders. They have requested a military presence from the authorities, however it reportedly takes a 10-hour river trip to reach the community from Iquitos City. Some villagers described the aliens as being like ‘pelacaras’, strange beings that feast on human fat and organs. According to reports, the police reached the remote area on board a speeder vessel and toured the village perimeter, including the area where the teenager was allegedly attacked. It is unclear if the authorities found anything to corroborate the villagers’ claims and if the government intends to deploy military personnel to the area for a sustained period of time. According to a 2017 national census, there are around 1,350 people who identify as being a member of the Ikitu community. Have your say in our news democracy.
