Drugs didn’t pull the trigger.

Perhaps the drugs and guns interacted. Surely the gunman couldn’t be responsible. His pockets aren’t deep enough.

Of course, but drugs altered the mind of the one who pulled the trigger.

Don’t be ignorant on this one. ALL of these psychotropic drugs carry warnings about causing violent psychotic episodes being a side effect.

There’s a very legit issue that pretty much ALL of the mass shooters the last 20 years were on one of those drugs.

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"
By Bob Brewin January 18, 2011
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

No telling - they use these drugs on what are essentially malfunctioning brains and they have no idea of what makes the drugs “work” and what the true effect on the brain is...probably save a lot of lives by prescribing mood enhancers vs. drugs that screw with the brain’s operation in unknown ways...Valium, anyone?

EVERY ONE of these Mass Killers has been on one or more of these drugs!
