No nonsense response to the anti gun crowd.

A little more info then I'll let the "experts" run the rest of the thread:

**snip**

• Eric Harris age 17 (first on Zoloft then Luvox) and Dylan Klebold aged 18 (Columbine school shooting in Littleton, Colorado), killed 12 students and 1 teacher, and wounded 23 others, before killing themselves. Klebold's medical records have never been made available to the public.

• Jeff Weise, age 16, had been prescribed 60 mg/day of Prozac (three times the average starting dose for adults!) when he shot his grandfather, his grandfather's girlfriend and many fellow students at Red Lake, Minnesota. He then shot himself. 10 dead, 12 wounded.

• Cory Baadsgaard, age 16, Wahluke (Washington state) High School, was on Paxil (which caused him to have hallucinations) when he took a rifle to his high school and held 23 classmates hostage. He has no memory of the event.

• Chris Fetters, age 13, killed his favorite aunt while taking Prozac.

**snip**

• Andrew Golden, age 11, (Ritalin) and Mitchell Johnson, aged 14, (Ritalin) shot 15 people, killing four students, one teacher, and wounding 10 others.

• TJ Solomon, age 15, (Ritalin) high school student in Conyers, Georgia opened fire on and wounded six of his class mates.

• Rod Mathews, age 14, (Ritalin) beat a classmate to death with a bat.

• James Wilson, age 19, (various psychiatric drugs) from Breenwood, South Carolina, took a .22 caliber revolver into an elementary school killing two young girls, and wounding seven other children and two teachers.

• Elizabeth Bush, age 13, (Paxil) was responsible for a school shooting in Pennsylvania

• Jason Hoffman (Effexor and Celexa) – school shooting in El Cajon, California

Every mass shooting over last 20 years has one thing in common... and it's not guns - NaturalNews.com

The list of shooters and the types of drugs they were on is much longer. Read the article for yourself. Then retreat back into "denial-land" if you so choose to ignore the facts.

While I agree that these drugs might be part of the problem, what do you suggest we do now? Republicans certainly aren't go to invest in mental health. Look at how much they fight obamacare.

Obamacare has little to do with health care. Look how many people lost insurance and can't afford the new rates.

The problem is too many drugs being prescribed. People have been seeking help and the number who were put on drugs increased a lot over the last couple decades. Considering the side effects, it should be looked into to see if this is a factor in the increase in violent outbursts.

I believe part of the problem is Big Pharms wielding too much influence over treatments. Obamacare only cemented the power of Big Pharms. We are going in the wrong direction.
 
turn the mentally ill over to Uncle Ted and let him shoot them in the head with an AR ... as long as they're behind a game fence and eating corn, he's your man
