Certain psychoactive drugs, like Prozac, Xanax,Ativan, Valium, Seroquel minimize inhibitions (feelings of guilt) that would otherwise keep the person from undertaking socially/religiously inappropriate behaviors. The onset of mass shootings are coincient and following the realese of such "magic bullet" drugs for public trials and final accptance in the formulary.

"Military's drug policy threatens troops' health, doctors say"

Army links prescription drug use to the services' growing suicide rate.

Do a search on "Centcom formulary and benzodiazepines"
Do a search on "Prozac and inhibitions"
Then substitute the names of other psychoactive drugs

the fact that you place Prozac in the same psychoactive category as the benzos and antipsychotics shows your ignorance.

You are talking out your hat.

None of that changes the fact that 2/3’s of mass shooters did NOT have a history of psychiatric drug use or that millions of persons have taken them and NOT killed anyone.

Mass shooters have many other things in common at a much higher rate like fatherlessness and anti-social personalities and narcissism.

The facts simply do not line up on that particular mythic factoid. Ignoring what the actual math says is confirmation bias.

There is increasing mental illness and most of it is related to methamphetamine use, especially when coupled with alcohol or marijuana. Overexcited energy levels while simultaneously depressing inhibitions is a how you get outrageous behavior.

Another dumb thing I see is the reporting and government response to the “opioid crises”. People dropping like flies from illegitimate heroin/fentanyl abuse, but hey, lets restrict pain pills for legitimate chronic pain or cancer patients and hand out free needles to the junkies.

It makes no sense.
