Obviously this the problem. Never mind the drugs, never mind the individual, it was the gun. Ban guns. Never mind that if he didn't have an AK type rifle, he'd have used a shotgun. If he didn't have a shotgun, he might just have blown the whole place to Kingdom Come, using a propane gas cylinder and a match.

"Since the 1991 FDA hearings Dr Peter Breggin, who served as the medical expert in the Wesbecker case..."

Neverdem, as much as I respect BMJ as a legitimate medical journal, when they quote anything by Dr. Peter Breggin, Scientologist, a member of the Board of Directors of the Church of Scientology, and a founding member of Scientology's sub-cult Citizen's Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) the entire credibility of the article is toast.

Now why would a Democratic Congressman be hot against Eli Lilly & Co., the manufacturer of Prozac?

This may be only a coincidence, but President George H.W. Bush, our President's Father, was at one point the CEO of Eli Lilly & Co.
