Same doctors that push SSRI drugs linked to nearly all mass shootings claim all guns should be banned because they cause “violence”

(Natural News) Conventional chemical medicine purveyors are pushing hard for gun control in America, and it’s not a push for safety, despite what they claim. It’s official: “Gunquacks” are now calling for the ban of all guns in America for our own “safety,” while prescribing the very drugs that are linked to nearly every mass shooting over the past twenty years. It’s the ultimate hypocrisy, but emotions run high after every shooting, thanks to the mass media frenzy that’s backed by gun-grabbing Democrats who want a totalitarian, communist-style, nanny police-state-America as soon as possible.

In order to crush any and all Americans who oppose the Democratic-Socialist-Communist agenda that’s in full swing, the Democrats propagate the same lie across all media: Give up your automatic, military-style weapons to stop all the mass shootings. But the true agenda reveals that the gun-grab legislation really encompasses nearly every gun, including automatics, semi-automatics, rifles, pistols, everything.

Sure, a number of people will say correlation is not causation and that these drugs might be actually preventing more kids from shooting up schools.
My response to that is many years before they started prescribing psychotropic drugs in large numbers to male students,  school shootings were a lot rarer.
When I was going to high school in sixties, it was a non-topic. I never heard or read about  school shootings for the most part.
The worst school shooting in the sixties was when Charles Whitman, the ex-Marine, killed about 15 people  at the University of Texas.
 But that was a rare incident, and he wasn't like the teen shooters of today. And believe me, plenty of teens fifty years ago had access to guns.

Correlation is not causation. And there are a lot of other things that have changed since the sixties that have made resorting to violence an acceptable way of dealing with conflict in a way that it was not in the sixties.

Agreed.  Some people who take SSRIs do not have or ever develop any homicidal tendencies, but there are more people who are already troubled who are prescribed SSRIs.  It's not an issue of people going crazy because they are taking SSRIs; it's an issue of more crazy people taking SSRIs.

But has they all been NRA members . . .

The question is: does taking SSRIs  do nothing, help, or make things worse?
I'm not  a doctor or so-called expert, I'm just pointing out that before the mass medication of SSRIs you didn't hear so much about students shooting up schools.
If the reality is many of these students did not take SSRIs, then we are back at square one.
 But the fact, as has been asserted, that a great many of these school shooters took SSRIs creates a legitimate question of possible cause and effect.

There is another factor, however. In the 60s, "conflict resolution" was often a matter settled with bare knuckles on the playground (or somewhere else), but not a series of going to counselors and other impotent gestures designed to employ sociologists and psychology majors (both fields which surged during the same era as people sought draft deferments).

Now, a student can be expelled for defending themselves (no physical contact allowed) in a fight started by someone else.

Most of the school shooters had underlying issues to begin with, no wonder with the drugs (or cessation of their pharmacological regimen without physician/psychological supervision) they snap.
