Political abuse of psychiatry in the Soviet Union
Senators Cruz, Lee, Paul and liberty defenders step up and do your work for the constitution. Kill this bill deader than Toomey, Manchin and Obama's scruples.
Let's give these two peas the benefit of the 'doubt.' Perhaps they hadn't time to read what their bloated staff hammered together.
The problem with legislators is that they continue to legislate and any cobbled piece of crap will do.
Seriously Erick? You are just now figuring this out?
Just exactly what did you think they mandated a national healthcare data base in the Affordable Care Act for?
Anyone with any foresight at all could have at least seen this coming soon after the Newtown event.
It even appears that you couldn’t even make the connection until stories came out in New York about officials implementing their own brand of medical diagnosis and guns.
Sheesh...it doesn’t give me much hope it people like you on our side are so slow to the uptake on this stuff.
Stop reacting, start predicting and then act - soon.
Doctors can already do this, although not as easily.
The regime is adding more informers to its secret police.
What everyone is mostly agreeable on....is that crazies shouldn’t have access to guns. I would agree, if the crazies find out they lose their gun rights....they won’t seek any treatment, and we will merely double-up on gun incidents.
ACLU in 5...4...3...2...1...
You'd be surprised, how easy it is to CYA. Especially for a doctor. They'll all do it broadly just for the liability factor.
Toomey was one of the most deceitful of the “conservative” Republicans. He may want to be Lugar II. But PA is so liberal and he barely won in 2010.
Would that be the same Dr. who cannot get you on blood pressure drugs fast enough?
Would that be the same Dr. who gets free trips to Hawaii to set in on Drug Companies presentations?
Giving power to some just because they have a title is stupid.
Political abuse of psychiatry in the Soviet Union
Everyone on all sides agrees that we need better help for those with mental health problems who need treatment.
Oh really?
I disagree with the premise.
I disagree that a list is going to help.
I disagree that mental health ought to be considered in discussion of God given rights.
I disagree that doctors ought to have serious influence in anyones need or desire to own a firearm.
Stick to the second amendment and all this other stuff goes out the window.
I don’t recall reading a long list of restrictions related to the Second Amendment and who could exercise that God given right.
Please notice the recent emphasis on “mental health” by even those supposedly supporting gun rights. A suggested problem/crises looking for progressive solutions.
This is more worrisome and a major reason for “background checks”, registration (HIPPA) “database” & and ultimate confiscation:
psychotropic meds... who hasn’t taken some of ‘em, at sometime? Even a ‘sleep aid’ for a week or two...

That's some catch that Catch 22.
But they can report a gun owner to the FBI.
This is nothing more than liberals looking to harass gun owners and it will never end with these corksuckers.
The proposal will allow a doctor to add a patient to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) without ever telling the patient he or she has been added.
..........................................................
The patient will know soon enough when the SWAT cops kick his frigging door down shoot his dog and tear apart his house looking for guns.
In Amherst, NY this week. A gun owner saw his handgun license revoked by order of the NYS Police. The town clerk had to revoke and seize his permit for being on psych meds. Only a couple of days late the state gestapo informed the town clerk that they’d made a mistake and gotten the wrong individual.
How is it that New York State can avoid the HIPPA laws and have law enforcement search patient records without patient permission?
This will affect normal people who mention that they are feeling low on the day of the office visit, and not affect people with serious problems. This will lead to more mass shootings, which is the original intention of this mad proposal.
Then they will say “see - now we gotta take all your guns away”
So what follows... Mandatory mental screening for all Americans?
Here’s another one.
Lesson: stock up on guns and ammo before you go to go to that shrink!
Can’t win situation for people now. If you go to the doctor and act cheerful, the prognosis will be that you have delusional tendencies.
It is easy to see why Obamacare was a necessity for the the marxists. They are going to use it to take over your life.
And let’s not forget the AMA may resurrect the old 1990s practice of attributing every physical ailment to “stress.” This opens the door to connecting millions of Americans to the mental health route to denying gun ownership.
This is not going to end well.
