What these and other recent mass shootings share in common is they all involve suspects in their teens, highlighting what can be a deadly mix of teenage bravado and impulsiveness with access to guns. [More]
Funny. Not a word about what really produces and sustains such aberrations unfit to live in a free society and allows them to flourish.
What can I say but “Associated Press“? And “DSM“?
And despite the overt attempt to convince the voting public otherwise, the problem is not — and has never been — “easy access.”

Yet not a word about SSRIs?

“While questions on causality remain, these results indicate that there may be an increased risk of violent crime during SSRI treatment in a small group of individuals. It may persist throughout medicated periods, across age groups, and after treatment discontinuation. Further confirmation is needed from studies with different designs, and clinical focus should be on high-risk individuals, as a majority of SSRI-users (around 97% in our cohort) will not commit violent crimes.”
But those that do tend to really “go out with a bang.” Or in this case multiple bangs and take large groups of innocents with them.
