They suggest the event was amplified to support new "Red Flag" gun laws in Colorado. A 2014 clip of an FBI representative is played to support the theory that the agency operates on a "six-week cycle" of high-profile busts to maintain public fear.

Moore argues that the lack of investigation into SSRIs like Prozac is a criminal oversight by corporations like Eli Lilly. The hosts agree that the timeline of mass shootings correlates strongly with the rise of television advertising for psychiatric drugs.

While some point to the 1980 creation of the Department of Education, others highlight the increased use of Ritalin and psychiatric drugs in the mid-1990s. The first major modern school shooting, Columbine, occurred in 1999 following these industry shifts.

Analysis of the 1999 Columbine shooting suggested the perpetrators used tactical movement techniques learned from video games. These games are increasingly viewed as sophisticated simulation tools rather than mere entertainment.

The hosts compare this to the handling of the Columbine High School site and question the necessity of destroying the building.

Mudd compares the psychological profile of the attackers to the perpetrators of the Columbine High School shooting rather than Al-Qaeda operatives.
