A Veterans Affairs psychiatrist walked back a comment he made on Facebook Tuesday in which he told a gun rights supporter to “off yourself.”
Gregg Gorton’s Facebook page says he is both a professor of psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania and a staff psychiatrist at the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Medical Center, where he has worked for 11 years, WCAU-TV reported.
Gorton was responding to another online user who posted a comment in favor of more people owning guns. The original Facebook status was also posted by an apparent gun rights supporter, the Military Times reported.
“This is why I always carry my 45. I am all for gun control,” the user commented. “If there is a gun in the room, I want to be in control of it. I do commend you on your efforts and hope you continue trying to take away our rights. Because of you people more and more Americans are buying guns. Thank you. Hopefully you idiots will get more and more attention so that more and more people will buy guns.”
Gorton responded bluntly: “off yourself, please.”

The crazy shrink should be fired from the VA.
This moonbat should not be anywhere near veterans.
There is one neighbor who is a psychoanalyst at the VA hospital who is spewing stuff about executives and business owners should be shot. I would bet he is telling his patients that they are war criminals.
Sorry to hear that, and I hope you are right about your doctor. But also be aware that she could be baiting you. “Liberals lie, all the time,” as is so aptly repeated on this site.
