well, i mean, the entire situation, with regards to mental health, medication, and pharma-corps, is screwed up....
we live in a society, where these scumbags can peddle their wares on network television, during pretty much any kind of show you can imagine....sure, they list side effects, but nobody pays attention to that bit, just like they don't read the information sheet that your pharmacist gives you, with your prescription...
i've made lots of posts in other threads about these psychiatric drugs, their side effects, their availability, and the shockingly high percentage rate in which their use coincides with violent acts, whether they be private altercations involving 1-3 people, or large scale acts, "mass shootings", like columbine, virginia tech, and sandy hook....
people always seem to ignore the person who committed the act, their mental state, and what chemicals they were using, and instead, choose to fixate on what tools they used to carry out their violence......but only if the list of tools included a gun....otherwise, they tend to not care...

sparky, i don't think that's entirely fair....
while yes, he's pretty selfish, he also makes a good point....within the limits of the T&C, he can say what he wants...additionally, the reactions seen from him, myself, VXN, and other pro-2nd advocates, is really only the natural response to the initial volly from slimy, degenerate asswipes who only care about these dead kids, because they're stackable, and can make a nice soapbox to stand upon, so their death can be politicized, and exploited to push their nonsensical agenda....
we find that kind of behavior to be completely repugnant, inexcusable, morally bankrupt, and absolutely reprehensible...so we must combat it, whenever we see it.....sorry to have sullied your thread.

This is just another reason for strong gun control. Let's watch and see that the perpetrator had a legally obtained firearm. I'm almost willing to bet.
