Agreed, but do you honestly dismiss the mental health aspect of these horrid events?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
By definition there is something mentally wrong with a person who would murder strangers for reasons none of the rest of us would ever understand.
If they happen to be in therapy, and say: "Hey, doc, I'm thinking of shooting up a public place, and probably getting killed by the cops," then YES, the shrink has a LEGAL OBLIGATION TO CONTACT AUTHORITIES.
By definition, none of those who do the shootings have actually had such a moment (or they WOULD have been turned in).
Lacking such evidence, you can rest assured that leftist psychologists (which is a great many of them) would badly abuse any further power they might be given, just like they have abused their power to pump drugs into millions of children.
Leftists love to have the psychiatric weapon. It was very big in Nazi Germany and in the USSR.
Remember the crackpot shrinks who claimed our mentally stable genius needed to be removed from office?
Seriously, the psychiatric profession cannot even predict, inside a mental institution, which patients will attempt suicide.
A lot of what they say they know is phony.
It's true that psychologists can sometimes help people; however: We do not want them to have ANY POWER AT ALL over our lives, and our rights.
