"Never let a good crises go to waste" simply means this: Any politically inclined group (even the least connected) takes a seemingly unrelated horrendous tragic event and molds their pet issue on to it to in hopes of enticing the great god state to recognize them and shower great sums of power and wealth upon them.
Its the drugs they scream! Its the gun owners, its the Jews!... and so on, and so on. Are psycotropic drugs the sole reason for what these monsters do? I personally see it as a small but fractional factor. Insane mass murders, drugged or not, have a field day with our largly docile populace thanks to the State structure and its fraudulent propagandizing of its great power to protect.
If you have a good guess as to what is behind the following statistic the nation would love to hear it just as soon as you could let us all know (it's an urgent problem, isn't it?)
Prior to 1989, there were only a handful of incidents in which two or more victims were killed by firearms at a school, including the 1966 University of Texas massacre, the 1974 Olean High School shooting, the 1976 California State University, Fullerton massacre, and the 1979 Cleveland Elementary School shooting (the 1927 Bath School disaster was a bombing, not a shooting, with a firearm used only to detonate explosives). School shootings prior to the late 1990s, when they received intensive press and official coverage, were considered local incidents and may be substantially underreported in current tabulations, raising questions as to whether school shootings are actually increasing or are simply receiving more attention in recent years.
From 1989 to 2012, there have been at least 40 such incidents.

The first antidepressant SSRI drug, Prozac,
was introduced in 1987
By the way, have you read this US National Institutes of Health (that is not Scientology, for those ready to throw that particular slimeball)

Both clinical trial and pharmacovigilance data point to possible links between these drugs and violent behaviours. The legal cases outlined returned a variety of verdicts that may in part have stemmed from different judicial processes. Many jurisdictions appear not to have considered the possibility that a prescription drug may induce violence.
In these trials, hostile events are found to excess in both adults and children on paroxetine compared with placebo, and are found across indications, and both on therapy and during withdrawal. The rates were highest in children with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), where the odds ratio of a hostile event was 17 times greater (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.22–130.0).
The Annex detailing case studies is particularly informative:

Case 1
DS was a 60-year-old man with a history of five prior anxiety/depressive episodes. These did not involve suicidality, aggressive behaviour, or other serious disturbance. All prior episodes had resolved within several weeks. In 1990 DS had had an episode of depression, which his doctor treated with fluoxetine. He had a clear adverse reaction to fluoxetine involving agitation, restlessness and possible hallucinations, which worsened over a three-week period despite treatment with trazodone and propranolol that might have been expected to minimise the severity of such a reaction. After fluoxetine was discontinued DS responded rapidly to imipramine.
In 1998, a new family doctor, unaware of this adverse reaction to fluoxetine, prescribed paroxetine 20 mg to DS, for what was diagnosed as an anxiety disorder. Two days later having had, it is believed, two doses of medication, DS using a gun put three bullets each through the heads of his wife, his daughter who was visiting, and his nine-month-old granddaughter before killing himself.

If every school shooter in the last 20 years had been taking LSD would you want to keep prescribing it to children?
