it sounded like he couldn't get the drugs anymore. If he could have gotten his hand on some heroin or been prescribed some happy pills, probably wouldn't have gone through with it.


Keeping him drugged up was the problem in the first place. Ban prescription drugs, you won't hear that in the media.

I wouldn't ban them all together. There are some medications that have been very helpful in controlling mental disease in a lot of patients. But there needs to be a long look at the rate they're being prescribed by some doctors and realistic alternatives to medication if possible.

Unfortunately when states do this, you see a rise in illegal drugs like heroin because of the reduced availability of the prescription drugs they became addicted to. But that's just part of it.

There's usually a link between the mass shooters and prescription drug use. But usually it's that they stopped taking their drugs. Based just on the letter, that appears to be the case here as well.
