Prozac is a very dangerous drug. I was on Prozac at one stage of my life and the side effects are dreadful, to say the least. However, Prozac alone would cause the type of effects that has been the instance of the Elementary School Shootings.
What we have left in this instance is the possibility that he was under the influence of some form of mind control. The only form of mind control that could possibly come to mind would be hypnotism.
To suggest that there was a microchip implanted in his brain, and that, that was the real reason why he committed the acts that he did, is just too ridiculous to contemplate. He simply snapped and with the readily available supply of guns at his disposal, there was no impediment whatsoever to hold him back.
I have just watched a documentary online that alleges that it was possible to hypnotize an ordinary member of the public to assassinate a national treasure, (in the instance of Stephen Fry) in a packed theater without the subject remembering what he had just done. However, in the instances of such performances one must always look at what has just happened with an open and critical eye so as not to be deceived into believing something that is nothing much more than just another form of stage show or magic.
In this instance, what we were looking at was nothing more than quite a clever hoax perpetrated designed by the hypnotist Derren Brown for no other reason other than to make a lot of money.

Definition
Hypnotism is an altered state of consciousness where the mind is relaxed, yet highly focused and suggestible. Hypnotism can occur in different stages of depth.
Suggestibility
According to a Mayo Clinic information sheet, it is possible that hypnotism makes a person's mind more suggestible than it is during normal conscious states. However, this does not mean that a hypnotized person loses control of his actions.
Obeying Commands
A hypnotized person may obey the commands of the hypnotist without hesitation. However, this is because of a state of lowered inhibitions (much like intoxication) and cannot be used in situations where the command runs contrary to the person's values or will.
Stage Shows and Myths
Many hypnotism-based stage shows involve hypnotizing volunteers, then asking them to perform strange or funny acts for the sake of entertaining audience members. Such shows give rise to myths about the power of hypnotism to brainwash people into obedience.
Hypnotism and Action
The Mayo Clinic states that while hypnotism cannot be used to make someone do something against his will, many people find it useful in helping themselves commit to actions they already favor, such as changing bad habits. It may work for people already highly motivated to change a behaviour.
Accordingly, what we are then looking at in the case of the elementary school shootings is the instance of someone who was of unstable mind and simply snapped. For those who then claim to be Christian to come forth with a million other excuses to pardon the actions of someone who was nothing much more than just a sick and deranged nut case, there is really no excuse at all.
Those persons are just as responsible for what happened as the shooter himself for supporting the gun lobby, because that is exactly what they are doing by making excuses for the shooter. Adam Lanz was someone who should have been in hospital a long time before he carried out the actions that he did.
Most importantly, there needs to be real and genuine reforms made to the American gun laws, (not excuses) to prevent a similar type of tragedy ever occurring again. Any contemplation about doing nothing at all relative to gun laws in no consideration at all.
WHY I AM NOT A DISPENSATIONALIST; John Nelson Darby is recognized as the father of dispensationalism later made popular in the United States by Cyrus Scofield's Scofield Reference Bible. Charles Henry Mackintosh, 1820–1896, with his popular style spread Darby's teachings to humbler elements in society and may be regarded as the journalist of the Brethren Movement. CHM popularised Darby more than any other Brethren author. As there was no Christian teaching of a “rapture” before Darby began preaching about it in the 1830s, he is sometimes credited with originating the "secret rapture" theory wherein Christ will suddenly remove His bride, the Church, from this world before the judgments of the tribulation. Dispensationalist beliefs about the fate of the Jews and the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Israel put dispensationalists at the forefront of Christian Zionism, because "God is able to graft them in again," and they believe that in His grace he will do so according to their understanding of Old Testament prophecy. They believe that, while the methodologies of God may change, His purposes to bless Israel will never be forgotten, just as He has shown unmerited favour to the Church, He will do so to a remnant of Israel to fulfill all the promises made to the genetic seed of Abraham. I am not a dispensationalist; it is unbiblical.
