You say "guns don't kill people, people kill people" but guns are a dangerous tool when in the wrong hands. You take away guns, you take away that power that insane murderers have. Every man and his dog own a firearm in the US and is it really necessary? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29850873 Are you kidding me? Guns ARE an inanimate objects, nothing more. It IS people who make the choice to pull the trigger. Do you really think that a law banning guns keep them out of the hands of criminals? For your information criminals do not care about laws for shit sake. This guy could have lost it and drove a vehicle into a crowded playground killing as many children-- does that mean vehicles should now be banned as well? By placing blame anywhere other than the offender you are letting that person get away with it. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 26143620 United States 12/14/2012 09:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | psychotropic drugs? My husband has been on many over the past two years. Perfectly normal nice guy before that - lost his nice job and had to get a shit job to get off unemployment. It was long grueling hours and he started using those 8 hour energy drinks. The more he used them the more he got hooked and he literally began abusing them like a drug. I don't want to hear that the stuff in these are all natural vitamins etc. BS! My husband became a totally different person once he went down this path. Now he is diagnosed bi-polar and is on multiple drugs and they do nothing for him. He continues to abuse the energy shots, stops for a while but goes right back to them like a druggie....this coupled with the psychotropic meds is a nightmare that won't end. So yes, I say ban the psychotropic drugs. Go read the adverse events of these anti-psychotic drugs...they can even make you psychotic. |

ExoPoliChick User ID: 28639185 Canada 12/14/2012 09:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | From: Citizens Commission on Human Rights International [link to www.cchrint.org] At least fourteen recent school shootings were committed by those taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs. There have been 109 wounded and 58 killed. Of these 14, seven were seeing either a psychiatrist (5 of them) or psychologist (2 of them). It is not known whether or not the other half were seeing a psychiatrist, as it has not been published. Huntsville, Alabama – February 5, 2012: 15-year-old Hammad Memon shot and killed another Discover Middle School student Todd Brown. Memon had a history for being treated for ADHD and depression. He was taking the antidepressant Zoloft and “other drugs for the conditions.” He had been seeing a psychiatrist and psychologist. Kauhajoki, Finland – September 23, 2008: 22-year-old culinary student Matti Saari shot and killed 9 students and a teacher, and wounded another student, before killing himself.

Yes its likely that mentally ill people would be on some sort of medication but does the person shoot up a place because they are mentally ill or because they were on medication? They don't just grab joe the plumber off the streets and start feeding him mental illness drugs....these people either enter treatment on their own or are referred their by family or the courts because they are MENTALLY ILL.
