Mental Health and the 2nd Amendment - No Excuse For Gun Grab
American Thinker ^ | Daniel John Sobieski

Posted on 08/29/2015 10:36:51 AM PDT by raptor22

Despite the undeniable mental issues affecting black, gay Democrat Vester Flanagan, who was not sporting a Confederate flag before he shot and killed his two former KDBJ coworkers, reporter Alison Parker and photojournalist Adam Ward, the fact is that he passed a background check and legally possessed the Glock handgun he used. As much as we all want to prevent the mentally unstable from possessing firearms, the fact is that there was nothing in Flanagan’s background to prevent him from legally owning a firearm.

So we have a

homosexual
black
journalist
who was felt to be such a threat, that when he got fired from a previous job, they emptied the room, and had him escorted out.

filming two people actually being murdered, and posting the film to the internet.

The proposed solution?

Let's go after

heterosexual
white
ex-military members
who have a track record of possessing guns *safely*.

Yeah, makes perfect sense to me! /sarc>

our republic’s founders realized that some people are mentally stronger or more stable than others

the real-world choice is between
upholding the 2nd Amendment and getting government OUT of the firearms market (letting all Americans have full access to whatever they wish to purchase)

or
allowing government to continue to restrict, limit, control, and neutralize our constitutional rights (keeping ATF firearms program going, despite the constitution)

To return to our Founders, they realized that there will always be some bad outcomes (murders) when the citizens are armed. They decided this is far, far FAR preferable than letting a government restrict or try to take away people’s firearms. And, that the primary purpose of an armed citizenry is to keep government in check...and prevent the (natural) rise of another dicatorship on this continent.

(Alas, we now have one. And, it is getting more and more and more oppressive, as most dictatorships do. Whether we like it or not, we must stay prepared ... and this definitely includes prepared to defend ourselves, our families, neighbors, and communities.)

Damn guns anyway. If not for that he could have just carried on being hate filled. Now, if some caucasion were to enter BET and take out some news persons, now we got a story. Otherwise, justifiable homicide. Remeber, we’re driving the wrong way on the PC Boulevard of dreams. Take a left at Unicorn Way.

Perfect analysis. Perhaps add “Obama liberal” to the descriptors.

The False Flag of Vester Lee Flanagan II

http://lamecherry.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-false-flag-of-vester-lee-flanagan-ii.html

from the article:

"...natural narcotics like scopolamine from South America to blackmail and get people to do what they never would. This mind control drug is one where the person is functional, follows commands and afterwards does not remember a thing what they have done. The effects can last for hours or days.

Scopolamine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scopolamine, hyoscine also known as levo-duboisine or burundanga sold as Scopoderm, is a tropane alkaloid drug with muscarinic antagonist effects.

Catch 22 is right around the corner.

Pretty soon the mere desire to possess a gun will be enough to establish a “diagnosis” of mental instability - and thereby disqualify the purchaser.

This is one reason why they want to eliminate the “gunshow loophole” (i.e., all private sales) - no records to track through interlocking guv databases means no opportunity to interfere.

I have proposed a Constitutional amendment to make the requirements for buying a gun the same as for registering to vote. Combine the two and call it Mauser Voter - undergo a background check; get registered to vote.

I completely agree that this is not a gun issue but it is a mental illness issue. Looking back to the 1960s, everyone had a gun and there was nothing like this going on. Everyone today seems angry and extremely stressed out.

So what is causing this anger, stress or mental illness. Our food, GMO, all the chemicals in our foods? Could it be the pharma companies and doctors prescribing all kinds of drugs. Could it just be the constant stress...the government, work, lawyers and just constant stress.

I dont know, but the mental problem has become epidemic.

How long can you subject a population to an ever-changing barrage of regulations and social 'mores' with no rhyme or reason and expect it to remain sane?

When regulatory insanity is the norm, those who comply will be behaving irrationally, often contrary to nature, while those who do not will be outlaws.

The miracle is that as many people are as relatively sane as they are.
