There is a lot of talk here about mental problems.. we had mental problems prior to the JFK assassination and the beginning of the constant demands for "gun control;" but any shootings at schools back then were by the schools' rifle teams. (Yes of course there were some shootings the U. of Texas tower comes to mind.)
Beginning in the 1950s after pharmaceuticals were invented that could make the insane sane they were loosed with their promise that they'd take their meds.
Those are not the major problem.. what about the normal people feeling a little down and taking mind-altering pharmaceuticals to feel better? I recall such drugs being discussed as driving people to doing these horrible killings.
A cursory search for, pharmaceuticals and gun violence, finds the role pharmaceuticals play in gun violence.
I did not read any. I am relying upon hearing descussions by experts and an occassional post here in FR to state unequivocally that mind altering pharmaceuticals taken by sane people are a huge factor.
Do a web search of Ritalin and mass murder and tell me what you find. The two boys in Denver were on it and so was the kid who shot the congresswoman.
Mix a cocktail of Ritalin or some ADD drug, violent video and an atheistic society and this is where you come up.
