        @MotherJones Correct. Psych drugs and their horrifying side effects cause mass shootings.

        @motherjones the makers, sellers and owners of guns are not seen as mentally ill then why should the shooters be?

        @MotherJones Okay, then why has the media reported that all these shooters had mental issues? Sane people don't commit mass shootings.
