Maybe it was the drugs?

Maybe it was the drugs? Just maybe...



"Just a month ago PRWeb described drug induced violence as "medicine's best kept secret."

The Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) has raised concerns about severe acts of violence as side effects of anti-psychotic and antidepressant drugs not only on individuals but on society as well.

It matters little to gun ban/control advocates that studies show that even though gun ownership has increased, gun violence has decreased - except in the case of suicide.

Some researchers have looked beyond the use of guns in these tragedies to see if anything else could be a precipitating factor and the researchers have discovered a definite link in almost every case; the use of pharmaceutical drugs prescribed by the assailant's doctor.

Too many meds? - http://www.policymic.com/articles/20856/adam-lanza-shooting-this-mass-murderer-might-have-been-motivated-by-drugs-not-by-guns



Hemp; harmless (even beneficial), but illegal.

Psychiatric drugs such as Prozac and Paxil; potentially deadly, but legal.

What is wrong with this picture? Answer; pharmaceutical companies?

Just as a note on sources.
The Washington Times is not a good source.
It is owned and operated by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon and the Unification Church.(The Moonies)
The Reverend was batshit crazy by just about anybodies metric and the Unification Church is a cult.
It looks very official and of course naming it's self the "Washington Times" leads people to give it some credibility but it's a rag. Not fit for whipping a dog's ass.

This does back the suicide stats.

It just so happened that this UNdude was in a restaurant when a derringer went off and it shot TWO women. I find that EXTREMELY hard to believe. How convenient for his cause to just happen to be in a restaurant where two people get shot by a single derringer; a story I am sure he likes to tell as much as he can trying to scare the hell out of people.

The odds of it going off was very unlikely, the odds of the bullet striking TWO women, even if both barrels went off, is HIGHLY UNLIKELY, and the odds of BOTH both barrels discharging at the same time is equally EXTREMELY unlikely.

Conclusion: Bullshit.

IMHO
