Dear Editor,
I am writing in response to Matthew Claxton芒鈧劉s 芒鈧揋un control debate is not sane芒鈧� [Painful Truth, July 2, 91原创 Advance].
Mr. Claxton argues that the root cause of another mass shooting is the American gun culture.
The truth is that almost all mass shooting have three things in common.
First is a gun, usually not legally owned. The second which is ignored by the news is that the shooting takes place at a 芒鈧揼un free zone芒鈧� and third, the perpetrator is on, or coming off of, mind-altering psychiatric drugs.
Two generations ago it was normal for American children to drive to school with their guns in their vehicles and nobody got shot.
Why does the American news corporations refuse to discuss the link between psychiatric drugs and violence?
Could it be because the pharmaceutical companies pay them millions of dollars in advertising?
