After a week of polls showing the American people reacted to the Umpqua Community College (UCC) shooting with stronger support for gun rights than gun control, a Washington Post-ABC News poll released October 26 shows that an overwhelming majority of Americans also believe Congressional focus ought to be on fixing our mental health system instead of talking about more gun laws.

This is the most dangerous of all gun restrictions. Give the decision to administrators as to who is crazy. Over the next 20 years, it will turn out that everyone except elected democrat officeholders are too crazy to have guns.
HIPPA laws allows Dr's who do this to be sued for breach of privacy
Focus on mental health, you betcha. Just don’t ask us to pay for it.
Alternative to “gun control” -
Institute a program of training our youth (high school age) in the basics of the care, feeding, use and proper grooming of small defensive weapons. More specifically, hand guns, shotguns, and light rifles, for both respect of potential capabilities, the ability to aim and fire effectively, and the judgment to consider the appropriate use of these devices.
The unstable ones shall be quickly revealed, as they cannot be expected to have the discipline to learn and apply these basic rules. But those that do, are much better equipped, physically and mentally, to resist the wanton misuse of human talent for dangerous acts.
The system works just fine for driver education.
Oklahoma Start University parade. 4 dead from the drunken mental case using a car as a weapon.
Spoons cause overweight citizens, eat with your fingers. May have to get a few of those removed if your still too fat.
Start = State
How do you identify someone who is unstable and likely to commit gun violence? (Other than the fact that they’re probably a paranoid, loser liberal?)
The Hegelian dialectic again: thesis (guns are the problem), anti-thesis (no, it’s the crazies), and synthesis (all gun owners are crazy). It means that the authoritarians ALWAYS win.

In addition most people with mental illness are not a danger to society. They are more often the victims rather the perpetrators. Removing rights because someone is mentally ill is horrible policy.
Let me axe you a question, you have 2 groups of 100 young people, one group black, the other mentally deficient.
Which group is more likely to produce murderers?
because ...
... GUNS!
They (obuma and Hillary) can’t focus on gun control as mental illness, they are both mentally ill and would have to be locked up!!!
I read where all mass shooters all....ALL have or were taking powerful SSRI (Selective Serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitors) medications psychotropic drugs.
Ok, there a clue..................? ? maybe.
Yep-——it is all the same. The Germans are using “psychology” and drugs/pharma to destroy sanity in the masses. The Marxists/Stalinists used psychology to put thousands of people into gulags in Russia.
The State uses operant conditioning to destroy the mind (morality) of our children-—and then can drug them, (mostly boys) and emasculate them and label them “insane” and “danger” to the State. (They literally create the insanity in the boys and girls (where up is down, and boys are girls)-—because they can’t use critical thinking skills even when “facts” exist-—all liberals are mentally ill).
Without God, everything is permissible (Dostoevsky).
Wisdom is discerning Good and Evil and the schools have been blurring Good and Evil-—actually flipping it in Kindergarten (Pride in sodomizing others)-—so that they will embed irrational, evil ideas-—and act like the Adam Lanzas in such an irrational, senseless world, where there is no Reason. (They are made into godless animals incapable of Reason/Virtue).
Psychology was used to destroy Christianity in Europe-—the concept of Sin-—and erase Good and Evil-—the ideas which created the Age of Reason and the US Constitution.
Without the ability to be Wise (discern Good and Evil)-—that is ALL that Classical Education instilled in children (read the McGuffey Readers—filled with Bible quotes and wisdom of Milton, etc). We have erased all the Wisdom of the Ages from “schools” now.
Cognitive Dissonance (irrationality) is created after a few years of operant conditioning in our school system, and our children are dehumanized for 12 years and it is MANDATORY.
It is sheer Marxism (godlessness) to destroy Western Civilization (Christianity) and planned by the Cultural Marxists (God is Dead group) to infiltrate all our colleges and schools by the sodomites like John Maynard Keynes-—who wanted to make the “love” that dare not be spoken “normal”——in a so-called Christian nation LOL.
Well, it was absurd when he was raping all the pretty little boys and bragging about it in his homosexual orgies——but now we have the SCOTUS making his vile Worldview into “Good” and a “Natural Right from God”-——it is diabolical —and a paganism which creates mental illness—like in Jenner.
Mental illness is being programmed into children for control and to create ignorant, useful idiots for the State-—easily controlled zombies.
Pretty much.
As the de-listing of Homosexuality as a mental illness shows (and the coming de-listing of pedophilia...), the list of mental illnesses are rather arbitrary.
The psychiatrists will be working overtime (and billing us for it) to create ‘illnesses’ associated with gun ownership as reasons to prevent it.
This is precisely why doctors have been handing out anti-depressants like candy, because once you are assigned an anti-depressant, you are immediately flagged as a ‘possible problem’ in the nationwide medical database now-
The deal is, that if a ‘mildly depressed’ person who only occasionally takes anti-depressants ever commits a murder- the left will scream bloody murder and demand that ALL people on anti-depressants be barred from owning guns because ‘something bad might happen at some point in the future”
For a couple of months now, every time a person goes into a health clinic, hospital etc- they are asked a series of questions “Do you ever feel down” “Have you ever thought of hurting yourself or others” etc etc etc- (They used to ask “Do you have any guns in the house” but have recently stopped asking that for some reason)
You can see the handwriting on the wall- They ARE preparing to enact gun control based on mental conditions- ANY mental conditions- and you will hear them declare that they have to enact these laws to preempt possible tragedy, and declare that they had ot enact these laws as a matter of national safety- ‘imminent need’ (like cuomo did in NY- declaring it an emergency act that didn’t need congressional approval)
Hillery has come right and declared that she WILL go after our second amendment rights AGGRESIVELY
Absolutely! The real issue is spiritual health, not mental health. Not every one on psychotrophics is “crazy”. When the right meds are given for the right ailment, the result is a well functioning person, especially if their spiritual condition is good.
As it is, anybody who is conservative and Christian is being categorized as crazy, especially if they hold firm to constitutional gov. In that light, noñe 9f uß will be “ allowed” to own guns!
Its a slippery slope, and a dangerous one.
Helgelian dialect; absolutely!
Focus on mental health? They’ve caused this “mental health crisis” by drugging millions of school children in the name of a fake disease ADHD. Boys will be boys has been replaced with boys will be drugged.
