“I know he was on medication and everything, but she homeschooled him at home cause he couldn’t deal with the school classes"

We've heard very little in the media about Adam Lanza's mental health issues and the drugs he was on, yet in the few interviews done with family friends they keep telling us this: Adam Lanza was "on medication and everything", "she homeschooled him at home cause he couldn’t deal with the school classes".

Instead we get hour after hour of shrill reporting on how guns are the problem. By all witness accounts, Adam Lanza had psychiatric illness. He was being medicated. He had behavioral problems that caused his mother to remove him from the school system. His mother knew him better than anyone. She should have recognized the danger of having ANY firearms in the home with her son. She paid with her life for her own stupidity. Sadly, 26 children and adults had to pay also.

"it is simply indisputable that most perpetrators of school shootings and similar mass murders in our modern era were either on – or just recently coming off of – psychiatric medications:

Columbine mass-killer Eric Harris was taking Luvox – like Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Effexor and many others, a modern and widely prescribed type of antidepressant drug called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs. Harris and fellow student Dylan Klebold went on a hellish school shooting rampage in 1999 during which they killed 12 students and a teacher and wounded 24 others before turning their guns on themselves.Luvox manufacturer Solvay Pharmaceuticals concedes that during short-term controlled clinical trials, 4 percent of children and youth taking Luvox – that’s 1 in 25 – developed mania, a dangerous and violence-prone mental derangement characterized by extreme excitement and delusion.

Patrick Purdy went on a schoolyard shooting rampage in Stockton, Calif., in 1989, which became the catalyst for the original legislative frenzy to ban “semiautomatic assault weapons” in California and the nation. The 25-year-old Purdy, who murdered five children and wounded 30, had been on Amitriptyline, an antidepressant, as well as the antipsychotic drug Thorazine.
Kip Kinkel, 15, murdered his parents in 1998 and the next day went to his school, Thurston High in Springfield, Ore., and opened fire on his classmates, killing two and wounding 22 others. He had been prescribed both Prozac and Ritalin.

In 1988, 31-year-old Laurie Dann went on a shooting rampage in a second-grade classroom in Winnetka, Ill., killing one child and wounding six. She had been taking the antidepressant Anafranil as well as Lithium, long used to treat mania...."
