Tennessee Passes Landmark HB 1349/SB 1146 Targeting the Behavioral Health & Big Pharma Industries’ Role in Mass Violence—AbleChild Leads National Charge for Accountability

Nashville, TN — In a historic move to address systemic failures in mental health care and public safety, Tennessee has enacted HB 1349/SB 1146, a groundbreaking law requiring autopsies of suspected mass shooters to include toxicology screenings for psychotropic drugs. The legislation, co-drafted by AbleChild—the nation’s leading nonprofit advocating for informed consent and the right to refuse psychiatric products and services—and Amy Miller, former director of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Reform Pharma initiative, marks a seismic shift in how States confront mass violence.

Bipartisan Task Force Sidesteps Crucial Evidence: Shooter’s Identity and Motive Ignored

The House Bipartisan Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump held its first hearing last week. Grossly incompetent are the words that come to mind.

Unfortunately, the House members of the Task Force don’t understand what information is important in a criminal investigation and, therefore, are unable to ask important, pertinent questions that may provide the American people with accurate information about the attempted assassination.

While no one doubts the Task Force’s desire to get to the bottom of the assassination attempt, what the American people must understand is that the goal of the Task Force is to “identify solutions that will prevent security failures from recurring in the future,” NOT to get to the bottom of who committed the crime and why. Knowing the role of the Task force helps the American people to understand why the members seemed so inept during the “preliminary” hearing.
