I really have to disagree with this statement. I have seen many psychotic individuals return to full functioning human beings when they took their drugs. What bothers me about the latest shooting in Colorado is that the young man was an Eagle Scout. I have never seen a "bad" kid that was an Eagle Scout. Something major had to cause a psychotic break.
Could have been "abused" by a scout leader. That would mess up any kid.

You may be jumping to a conclusion that is not true. People with mental illness are sometimes prescribed drugs to combat their illness. Do these drugs increase the likelihood of becoming a mass shooter or does the mental illness itself make the person more likely to cause a mass shooting?
Often the cure is worse than the disease.
