What do you suggest be done about it? 

I have never taken those types of drugs, but I'd imagine pro-psych drug people will tell you the same thing that we tell others about our desire to concealed carry/bear arms. 

"The greater benefit trumps the random outlier cases.  Prescription drugs to more good than harm."

Tell your doctor right away if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur:
mental/mood changes (such as hallucinations, thoughts of suicide), slurred speech
or difficulty talking, loss of coordination, trouble walking, memory problems.

Psychotropic drugs have some bad side effects, including the desire to harm oneself or others.  As a precaution, he should have been advised to store his guns away from where he has access until the drug's effects are known.  Everyone reacts to the drugs differently.

If he was a responsible gun owner, he would have understood the risk and taken steps to avoid what ultimately happened. 

Some might say we should take guns away from people on Xanex or any other drug with similar side effects.  I think frequent follow-ups with the patient would be a better idea before forcing confiscation.

According to Dr. Weldon Havins, a member of the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), a federal privacy law, bars Dr. Steven Winkler from divulging the reason for his prescription of diazepam for Stephen Paddock.

The law protects the health information for a dead person for 50 years. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the 50-year rule was implemented to balance the privacy interest of an individual’s family with the need by archivists, biographers and historians to access records.

There are exceptions, however. A key one is that under the law, Paddock’s health information could be made public if “the decedent’s personal representative” requested it. That could be an executor, an administrator of the person’s state or someone authorized by law to act on the decedent’s behalf, which could be a family member.

This fits a decades-long trend among mass shooters and others who engage in cruel and unusual criminal acts being on powerful, yet legal psychotropic drugs.

According to the Nevada state monitoring report, the suspect Stephen Paddock was first prescribed the drugs in 2016.

psych meds...

Yes, I am savagely suspicious of the deep state and what they try to do and direct the course of event.

If meds are the root cause then these libs should be targeting pharma
In a PBS show documenting the "opioid" epidemic they (medical professionals) admitted lax prescriptions which likely led to many addicts hooked on prescription drugs.

So what now, ban drugs?  Ban people that take psych meds from owning guns?  Does that include other psych behavioral medications such as adderall/ritalin? 

Where do you draw the line?  Again, we're looking for the witch when there is none.

Finally someone mentions the elephant in the room.

Doesn’t anybody notice the desire for “residual income” in western medicine when it comes to ailments?

I have bad allergies every now and then. Former doc said I should be on Allegra. Ok I say, how long? He says for life. 

Western medicine seems to be only good at treating trauma like falls, car accidents, stab wounds, gunshots etc

The track record on treating ailments and disease is pitiful. Take this pill!  Then when you get a side effect from that pill, take these pills....and on and on.

A lot of ailments are the direct result of diet and life style.

I truly believe that most, if not all of societal ailments, both physical and psychologically, can be alleviated greatly  if not eliminated via diet and exercise.

a lot of society is now conditioned to think that taking meds is the solution to everything
i get this all the time
me "the tooth is infected and needs to come out"
after the tooth is extracted
pt "do i need to take antibiotics?"
me "the tooth was the source of the infection, we removed the tooth, so now your body will clear up the residual infection because you are young and healthy (i say this to everyone to make sure they understand it will be ok)"
pt "but you said i have an infection"
 

I noticed that the major TV networks did not mention anything about this.

Probably because many of those news people are taking the same drugs.
