Senator Tommy Tuberville links the rise of ADHD medication use in children to an increase in school shootings. He argues that this dependence on drugs is a primary contributor to violence in schools, rather than gun control.
U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R. Ala..“I have seen kids’ attitudes change,” Tuberville said in a recent interview with Nicole Shanahan.
Tuberville said that during his time as a football coach, he began to notice more students coming in each year that were being treated for ADD or ADHD.“All the attention deficit drugs. Anything that our parents used to handle without drugs, we’ve gotten away from that.” “The school shooters … if you just take a random sampling, almost all of them are on prescription medications,” she said.
“Not only are a small minority of mass shooters ... taking therapeutic doses of these medications at the time of the mass shootings, but these psych meds have specific anti-violence properties.” Columbia’s study also adds that mental illness in general, medicated or not, accounts for “a very small proportion of perpetrators of mass shootings in the U.S.”
