While we're looking into the effects of antidepressants on the minds of mass-murderers, let's also encourage our British Friends to allow the law-abiding public to re-arm themselves and to re-introduce Capital Punishment.

Researching a complex drug's physiological dynamics in this context can take decades and may ultimately provide inconclusive results, particularly given the political forces at play regarding these issues. 

Cutting loose the shackles that bind peoples' freedoms might be done far more quickly, and this route has a proven track record of success.

Simple answer: SHOOT BACK!

‘course, if you’re in GB, the best you can do is to stop the particular bullet from hitting somebody else.

And so it goes...

Yep. Anti-depressants and assorted ADD/ADHD pose a huge risk to children. It’s sad we’re pumping kids full of them here in the US.

The combination of certain antidepressants and firearms have led to massacres. This story is largely untold.

Although reports of multiple shootings sometimes refers to the shooter being on medication, the resulting discussion always turns to gun control. Hardly, if ever, does the media turn its focus to the psychological effects of the drug, and how it reduces or eliminates ones conscience (inhibitions) to the point where the thought of taking revenge on a society that has wronged them, seems appropriate.

This is a serious problem that the drug companies would prefer not to discuss.

Just taking the other side. If all of these people were on anti depressants, they would have to have gone to a doctor to get them prescribed, correct? That being the case, is it fairer to say that all of these people were diagnosed clinically depressed and that is the main link? Of course (in this country at least) everyone clinically diagnosed with depression from a shrink would be on anti depressants. Not sure if the cause/effect relationship is good here...
