I do that because I think it always needs to be part of the discussion. Personally I believe these drugs significantly helps FAR more people than it harms, I also sense that often here in the US they are heavily over-prescribed for issues that need to be dealt with outside of drugs but thats a huge topic. I do believe the media hides the prescription drug issue as to not offend its sponsors and effect its cash flow.Why not blame water then? Or the sun? You pick out one thing from this person's life and pin the blame on that. Antidepressants are widespread and have helped a lot of people, but some people don't respond or are not properly diagnosed and managed. This is like blaming a chemotherapy drug for somebody that died from stage 4 pancreatic cancer. As for ataxia, that refers to muscle movement and coordination, something that would prevent a shooter from hitting targets.
But to be clear I am not anti psych drugs, I am for it, but there are clear problems with the system that need to be address right away and I dont think banning guns will solve this separate issue. I will say with proper due process in front of a jury I can support limiting guns from psych patients but I am heavily worried about effects of charging people as guilty and needing proving to be innocent afterwards. It has to be implemented properly and I have some ideas.
Last time I checked, the sun, water, and probably chemo drugs didnt have psychological interactions so I dont think Im worried about that.
