In response to Drugged out killer kids... posted by Migisi:

But IMHO, the question is: WHY were all of those kids on psychiactric meds? I'm not at all convinced that the rate of mental illness is increasing that rapidly, so why were all these children being medicated? What was the *real* problem?
.
In any event, what about the people who die by a gun who are not on drugs, and who are not defending themselves? What about the children who are mained or paralyzed because some child thought it would be fun to wave a gun around?
.
What about the person who gets drunk and thinks a gun makes him really macho?
.
And, if the issue were a poisonous substance, would people be so willing to defend ownership and usage? Would they be so careless about keeping their guns out of their children's hands?
.
peace and love,
Paper Turtle
