Is cdc good enough for you? Or is that more fake news?
Provisional data from CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics indicate that there were an estimated 100,306 drug overdose deaths in the United States during 12-month period ending in April 2021, an increase of 28.5% from the 78,056 deaths during the same period the year before.

Talk about despair. This is sad. If only there was something we could do.
That article does not state that 100,306 overdoses were due to fentanyl. Why did you?
I think this report is ridiculous expecting a cop, on the go, to take a 150 yard shot with his rifle, with a school as a backdrop?
Did I read that distance right?
Edit: it was 150 yards.

Fair point. I’m sure at least 20,000 were dabs or ediblesQuote:

New gun regulation proposal: only guns assembled from shit you pick up from the hardware store is allowed.
Attachment 420989
Apparently that strikes a balance between allowing assassination of (ex-) government officials, but not mass casualty.

The vast majority of accidental overdoses these days are from fentanyl, as well as the general increase in accidental overdose deaths overall. That'll happen when a fatal dose is measured in micrograms. So, legalize drugs so people can buy the drugs they actually want in known dosages. Solved. Where's my money?Quote:

Fuck those junkies. I guess they deserved it.
========
More than 932,000 people have died since 1999 from a drug overdose.1 In 2020, 91,799 drug overdose deaths occurred in the United States. The age-adjusted rate of overdose deaths increased by 31% from 2019 (21.6 per 100,000) to 2020 (28.3 per 100,000).
Opioids—mainly synthetic opioids (other than methadone)—are currently the main driver of drug overdose deaths. 82.3% of opioid-involved overdose deaths involved synthetic opioids.
Opioids were involved in 68,630 overdose deaths in 2020 (74.8% of all drug overdose deaths).
Drug overdose deaths involving psychostimulants such as methamphetamine are increasing with and without synthetic opioid involvement.2
It’s tragic for sure. How many random people are murdered when a junky overdoses? Logic isn’t your forteQuote:

To be fair, I think one of the bigger benefits of stricter gun control would be reduced self harm (suicides). Reducing drug related self harm would be a nice goal as well.Quote:
