We use the prescribing cascade to deal with gun violence in the US

In a prescribing cascade, instead of removing the source of the symptom, we prescribe meds to mask the problem

In the US, Instead of removing guns, we waste money on Kevlar backpacks and bullet resistant tables

Let’s stop throwing pills at the problem
Let’s stop throwing Kevlar at the problem

Let’s. Remove. Guns.
