GREG KELLY (HOST): All right, you probably heard about this. Another mass shooting at a school. Three dead, including the shooter. Six injured, I'm told some of those are really, really critical. Bad news, right? And what's going to happen now? What is happening right now? A sick, lame and lazy conversation about gun control.
...
KELLY: Well, whatever it may look like, it's a violation of the Constitution. You want to have that conversation again? Everybody's sick of it. All right? Even the gun control advocates, I think they know deep down inside they don't know what they're talking about. Why can't we talk about psychotropic drugs? Notice it never really comes up. We have millions and millions and millions of kids on lithium, all kinds of — whatever it is. I mean, there are all kinds of drugs, and those drugs have side effects, right? They tell us in the commercials, you know, watch out for this ideation. Watch out for that. Some of the side effects are pretty intense, really intense. But we don't — does anybody know that this is actually when it all started? The first school mass shooting — a lot of people consider this the first school mass shooting, when Brenda Ann Spencer shot at a middle school right across the street where she lived. She was 16 years old at the time, and that might have been the first modern day school shooting. What was going on in the 80s? The pills, the pills, and more pills. This country has always been awash in guns. We're a gun culture. We are pioneers. It's not the guns. It's a lot of other things.
