Well, we do happen to have this thing called the second amendment to the
constitution. You know, the one about the right to bear arms?
(And no, I'm not a member of the NRA nor am I in favor of a total lack of
gun control)
As for legal drugs in use - Prozac is what's been cited (honestly don't
know if that's the case or not), but not everyone who takes it becomes a
psychopathic homicidal maniac. I know from personal experience on that
one.

The fault for the shooting lies with the shooter. The fault for the
shooter's access to the means lies with the person who provided them with
the weapon.
The shooter is not blameless in this. But our societal norm these days
is that the individual bears NO responsibility at all for anything they
do. That's just wrong.
