Is TDS real?
After a professor shoots himself in the arm in a college bathroom to protest the President, I'm going to say yes.
How are those gun free zones working?

No reason has been given or details offered on the shooting other than that the police are calling it a protest against Trump. That's not TDS, that's a mental issue that should be seriously and definitively dealt with.
But there's another reason why it can't be attributed to TDS - and that's that there's [i]no such thing.[/i]
The origin of TDS is traced back to the late Charles Krauthammer, who invented the term "Bush Derangement Syndrome." Krauthammer was an attorney, not a psychologist or mental health professional of any kind. He was coining a pattern of behavior among opponents to Bush, probably tongue in cheek.
Of course, Trump appropriated the phrase for himself because, well, Trump. It's a non-existent urban term that means nothing.

@Graylight the police said that based the professor's own statement.
It seems to me you are suffering from a slight case of TDS yourself

@Harley4Life...with no specifics as to rain yet.
As for TDS, [quote]there's no such thing[/quote]
But still, at least learn to apply it correctly.

@cherokeepatti Unfortunately, the NRA disagrees with your assessment and they own a majority stake of the GOP.

@daisymay If he's mental or a felon then no guns are supposed to be sold to him in Oklahoma, but the thing is that it's almost impossible to find information on a person's mental status.

Why do you suppose that is? Are the yokels who sells guns at gun shows required to check that status? Is there a database?
Nope and it's all thanks to the NRA for that!

Maybe you should ask Mandalay Bay that question?
