It aint the guns, stupid. It's the drugs.

Prescription drugs, that is.



"...virtually all of the gun-related massacres that have made headlines over the past decade have had one thing in common: They were perpetrated by people taking Prozac, Zoloft, Luvox, Paxil or a related antidepressant drug."

Check out the list of student-shooters and the drugs they were taking.



Of course, there could be a chicken-and-egg fallacy here. Were the kids on drugs that's why they were violent, or were the kids prone to violence that's why drugs were prescribed? Either way, the drugs didnt work.
