Someone needs to ask Rep Crenshaw if Red Flag laws would make it less likely that fellow vets would seek help for mental health issues (knowing that their gun might be taken).

Excellent point but

The left is still controlling the narrative and the timing of getting Trump re-elected is more important.

Flame me if you want but I think Crenshaw is retreating to a position of strength.

“Someone needs to ask Rep Crenshaw if Red Flag laws would make it less likely that fellow vets would seek help for mental health issues.”

I concluded about 20 years ago that NO ONE in my family, particularly my children would EVER see a shrink, and no one has...given that it would likely haunt them the rest of their lives (the writing was on the wall, even back then)

And that approach is fine for me and my family - I’ve never been in combat, so I admit that I have no clue as to what people coming home go through and how much help they really do need.

...and like you say, now they won’t get it, and that totally sucks.

What they NEED to be investigating are YOUNG MEN prescribed anti psychotic and anti depressant drugs these drugs are having an effect on YOUNG MEN and their thought process!!! ALL of these shooters have been YOUNG MEN (except San Bernadino) on these prescriptions!!! I think that the combination of these drugs and violent video games are depleting the empathy in these YOUNG MEN!!! In the 70’s and 80’s there were firearms everywhere AND we had archery and fire arms in school YET no problems!!! Teachers AND parents are so easily putting hyper active kids on meds it is sickening!!!
