I remember when that happened. Everyone started throwing out their Tylenol out of fear and started using ibuprofen more. It was a national scare and people were thinking it came from inside the Tylenol manufacturing plant. It took almost a year for a lot of people to start trusting it again, even after the new tamper resistant packaging was used.

I find it amusing how a single incident can get this kind of reaction and prevention. But regular school shootings warrant no action.

There's multiple lobbiest groups whose soul purpose is to keep guns legal. They go to work every day with their entire jobs being to spread propaganda, keep reality surpressed and getting in bed with politicians to make sure they vote the "right" way.
