Navy Yard Shooting and the War on Mental Illness

Following the Navy Yard shooting by Aaron Alexis, the national conversation has shifted toward mental health and the Affordable Care Act. Alexis was reportedly prescribed the antidepressant Trazodone. The hosts predict a "war on crazy" where mental health diagnoses will be used to restrict rights, similar to how gun control is debated, potentially leading to the social branding of the mentally ill.
