RFK Jr Rejects Gun Control Narrative, Targets Psychiatric Drugs in Mass Shooting Probe

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is taking aim not at law-abiding gun owners but at America’s real health crisis in the wake of the horrific Annunciation Catholic Church shooting: the unchecked explosion of psychiatric drugs.

Speaking Thursday after a transgender-identifying gunman murdered two children and wounded 17 others during morning Mass, Kennedy made it clear: this isn’t about guns. It’s about what’s broken in our society and it starts with the overmedication of a mentally unstable population.

“People have had guns in this country forever,” Kennedy said. “When I was a kid, we had shooting clubs at our school... Nobody was shooting up schools.”

He’s absolutely right.

The U.S. has always had guns. What it hasn’t always had is an epidemic of young, disturbed individuals doped up on SSRIs and psychiatric cocktails, walking into churches and classrooms with murder in their hearts.

Here’s what Kennedy is doing differently:

• For the first time, HHS is studying the connection between psychiatric drugs and mass violence, including the side effects of widely prescribed SSRIs, many of which come with black box warnings for suicidal and homicidal ideation.

• Kennedy is demanding unbiased science not politically convenient narratives and promises answers where past administrations looked the other way.

• He rejected calls for gun control as a distraction from the deeper rot in American culture, asking instead, “What changed?”

“There’s never been a time in the history of humanity where people walked into a crowd, or a church, or a movie theater, or a school, or a crowd of strangers and just started randomly shooting,” Kennedy said. “It’s happening in our country... Something changed.”

And the numbers don’t lie:

• SSRI usage in the U.S. has exploded, increasing nearly 400% from the 1990s to 2006.

• By 2014, 1 in 10 American adults had a prescription for SSRIs.

• Between 2015 and 2021, usage spiked another 35% and yet, depression and mental illness continue to soar.

A 2023 Gallup poll found that nearly 30% of U.S. adults now report being diagnosed with depression, up almost 10 points in just eight years. Whatever we're doing isn’t working and Kennedy knows it.

Instead of using dead children as political pawns to attack the Second Amendment as the Left has done for decades Kennedy is taking a serious look at the pharmaceutical-industrial complex, the social decay, and the radical ideologies now fueling violent instability.

That includes the obvious: the second trans-identifying shooter in two years targeting a Christian school. And while corporate media and the Biden-era bureaucrats run from that fact, Kennedy is willing to confront the reality without flinching.

This isn’t a gun crisis it’s a moral and mental health emergency. And for the first time, someone at the federal level is treating it as such.
