Is it true that peo­ple who take med­ica­tions are going to start shoot­ing up the world?

They say that every sin­gle mass shoot­ing has been because the per­son was tak­ing med­ica­tions.

It’s Time To Stop Blaming Mental Illness For Mass Shootings

By Mitzi J Her­nan­dez, Feb­ru­ary 16th 2018

This morn­ing I got up bright ear­ly and got my daugh­ter ready for school. After I dropped her off I gave her a kiss and told her I will see you lat­er. She replies, “I love you mom hope to see you too.” After I replied, “Of course you will,” she says,

“Mom I am scared to go to school, I don’t want to die.”

Those words my daugh­ter said to me this morn­ing broke me. As a par­ent to hear your own child is afraid for her life is the worst feel­ing, to know our chil­dren are not safe at a place of edu­ca­tion, it’s frus­trat­ing. Chil­dren should not be afraid to go to school.

They say that we should ban all guns and so this would stop the shootings. 

They say that if we ban all medications that the killing will stop…

Will it stop?

No, because it is not the guns that kill and it is not the med­ica­tion that kills.

 

I know one thing for cer­tain.

When a Mass Mur­der­er one day faces God there will be no excus­es.

There will be no “I was men­tal­ly ill and on pre­scrip­tion med­ica­tions.”

Guns do not kill peo­ple

Med­ica­tions do not cause good peo­ple to kill peo­ple.

That is a fact and it is not dis­putable.

Caveat.  Do some peo­ple who have a men­tal prob­lem and also take med­ica­tions mur­der peo­ple?

Yes, they do.

How­ev­er you can­not blame the med­ica­tions just as you can­not blame the guns.

Since the first mur­der took place with a rock and numer­ous oth­ers have been as well one can­not make the argu­ment that tak­ing away all guns and rocks will stop all mur­ders.

The truth is that for some peo­ple poor deci­sions are the result of just that and noth­ing more we might ana­lyze

and say that for some peo­ple med­ica­tions might not be a good choice but that does not excuse bad behav­ior.

Because for every one mass mur­der­er  there are mil­lions and mil­lions of oth­er peo­ple on the same drugs that do not go out and kill peo­ple.

Mil­lions and mil­lions and mil­lions.

It would be fool­ish to try to say that it is the result of med­ica­tion when so many oth­er peo­ple do not choose to kill and mur­der indis­crim­i­nate­ly.

Strange but true…

But hey lets go ahead and ban stuff.

All alco­hol.

Lets Ban all Guns

Lets Ban all Med­ica­tions.

Then wait for three months and see what hap­pens next.
