Thanks for the link.
Jaffe is 100% correct
At the end of that first page is a link about “seeks privileges”....Very interesting...shows he’s a sneaky liar after 30 years
These "mental health experts" aren't stupid: Deny a patient the right to own a weapon and they sue if they are unable to defend themselves in an emergency. Fail to deny a patient the right to own a weapon and their victims sue them for doing so.
It is a no-win situation for them. Therefore, as the "experts in the field" they deny the linkage exists.
Problem solved.
If it’s true that most seriously nutty people will nonetheless never try to murder someone... then it’s true. I’ve seen studies ridiculed for being too small, but this one is getting ridicule for being too large.
I see a furious orgy of dancing around the most obvious answer: communities, outraged about a spate of murderers visiting schools, should have armed the schools. Long ago. And shown no mercy to any (well intended or not) Federal regulation that would inhibit the capability of arming schools. It might be a nut today, a “sane” criminal tomorrow. Same result, if the school is not guarded.
i heard some whiner say that only 4%-5% of violent crimes are committed by the mentally ill and that's proof they aren't dangerous... well since my guess is that they prolly make up 1% to 3% of the population(i don't know the ratio) i'd say that's a pretty high percentage!
Their bottom line....I don't want to get involved....just collect my big fat paychecks.
You know damn well the theatre killer told his shrink of his plans...and she just sat on it.
Who engaged in the out of body spy travel to the shrink visits of the Batman killer?
“You know darn well” is not evidence of anything good or bad.
Because mental health, like all science, has be hijacked by the PC crowd. Ideology trumps fact.
How many more psychiatrists and psychiatric researchers are there out there who are themselves CRAZY?
Before accusing a segment of whining, try to nail down some facts. Such loaded language coupled with admitted ignorance scarcely wins agreement from anyone who didn’t already agree with you. To put it bluntly, you risk looking like you’re projecting.
the whiner i was referring to was a psychiatrist... and i know a little about some forms of mental illness as my ex is manic depressive or as her doctor insisted, bi-polar
I think FedGov wants to include “mental illness” in the upcoming gun laws so that any doctor can disarm you by prescribing a drug for a mental problem. Zoloft and Prozac are obvious, but if it includes insomnia, then Ambien and the others get you disarmed.
With all medical records becoming digitized and centralized, it will be easier to get this data into NICS and onto the 4474.
I will answer my own question: THE LIBERALS, who are chronically insane themselves.
Let the mentally insane idiot free after killing his grandmother with a hammer, but then make sure he live next door to the psychiatrist that gave him the “non-violent” diagnosis!
Anyone can claim to be “depressed” or sad. This is where the Obamacare costs will EXPLODE. Psychs will collect massive rent, donate a little the the ‘Rats, and us taxpayers will ‘circle the drain’!!!!
Considering the likelihood of a FATTER increase in their insurance premiums bankrupting their practices, and that they'd spend the bulk of their time defending themselves, and that they'd be unable to truly take a risk in helping a patient, and that the cost of the insurance would shrink their customer base to nothing, and that more people would go unidentified and untreated...
I disagree with you completely. The "bottom line" is tort law, just as it is with other physicians.
