From the second article:
...mind-altering drugs are being given to our future generation for no sensible or logical reason other than profits for pharmaceutical companies. The only result is dead bodies from mass shootings and that is truly senseless.
Could it be that Big Pharma has in interest in keeping the focus on gun control and not on their role in this problem? They seem to have a lot of influence on the media as evidenced by the large numbers of advertisements for pharmaceuticals. I suppose they make large contributions to politicians and lobbyist too.
Back in 2011, it was believed that Big Pharma was making around 14.6-billion dollars (the Guardian reports that). Figure seven years into the future, I would guess it’s closer to 20-billion at this point. It’s a golden cow.
The other number that gets thrown around is that between 10 and 15-percent of Americans are on some type of mood-enhancement, antidepressant, or chill-pill (all legal). The odds are....as you travel around on a typical weekend...you will bump into a minimum of twenty adults/kids on some legal prescription. You are facing a potential nutcase-shooter every single weekend.
