My wife who passed away in sept. 2012 was a Psychiatric clinical nurse (got her degree from university of Maryland). She always said when discussing mass shootings etc was because it is very hard to get somebody confined to an institution now because states can't afford it. So now they try to control people with psychiatric problems with drugs. However most all of the drugs have side effects which include homicide and suicidal thoughts. If you go back and check most all of the persons who committed these mass shootings were on some sort of psychiatric drug.
