I Think That When Guns Are Outlawed Only Outlaws Will Have Gun

Many are shouting about keeping guns out of the hands of the mentally ill. Like the others it is a feel good solution that will have dire consequences and will have zero effectiveness in curbing the violence.

Mental illness can be very hard to identify since there is no kind of official test for most conditions, most people are diagnosed according to the [b]subjective[/b] opinions of the doctors that observe them. What makes anyone think that a doctor is neutral? We have seen plenty of activist judges, doctors are human as well and many have an agenda!

In the dictionary of mental illnesses, known as DSM-5, published by the American Psychiatric Association, there is actually a condition listed for people who have a problem with authority. Oppositional Defiant Disorder is a name that psychiatrists made up to identify children who won’t do what they are told, and now even adults are being diagnosed with this condition as well. It important to note it is doctors that sit around a conference table deciding what goes into the DSM. The DSM is a tool that is used so when diagnosed they can prescribe. Note also that big pharma spends aprox 40K per year per doctor to get them to prescribe.

A policy like this could also allow the government to disarm dissidents and political enemies. As psychiatry became more influential towards the middle of the 20th century, rulers around the world began using “mental illness” as an excuse to lock away anyone who might disagree with them. The Soviet regime became notorious for this practice by labeling all political dissidents as “mentally ill” so they could be locked away in institutions where they were no threat to the establishment.

The United States government also has a long history of slapping unruly citizens with the mark of mental illness. President Franklin Roosevelt famously called his detractors “the lunatic fringe.

Meanwhile, politicians and mainstream media are quick to label anyone who questions the official narrative as a “conspiracy theorist,” a term that has been falsely associated with mental illness in pop culture.

A study in 2017 set out to determine whether or not believing in conspiracy theories was a form of mental illness. As expected they found the exact answer that they were looking for, people who don’t trust the government and mainstream media are crazy, and suffering from something called illusory pattern perception.

The mentally ill are more likely to be victims as they appear weak than they are to commit a violent crime. We don't need more gun laws what we need is to stop the drugs that doctors hand out in order to increase their profits. These drugs are very well known to cause violent behavior as these poisons change your brain chemistry.

The common denominator of all the mass shootings starting with Columbine is they were all on drugs legally prescribed by doctors. MSM downplays that because it is big pharma paying for them. We want to stop the violence we need to stop the drugs.

With all the craziness, evil criminal acts, and a potential hostile government, I think an argument could be made that it is insane to NOT be armed.

@Riverman Why would you purposefully choose to believe those things? We have less crime today than at anytime since the early 70's. And that's with a significantly bigger population.

A hostile government? Like coming after citizens?

I don't get it. But I DO know that thinking like yours is EXACTLY what the NRA has been pushing for. And now with a big case ready to hit the Supreme Court that will greatly diminish gun laws, I guess they'll get their wish. They want to sell more guns to people who choose to be afraid. And that sucks because the rest of us will suffer because of it.

@Ynotisay Was that Koolade tasty?
Ynotisay · M
@Riverman No dude. But I sure enjoyed the fuck out of the STATISTICS I read breaking down the number of crimes in the U.S. I don't say shit unless I know what the fuck I'm taking about. Sort of an adult thing. I choose FACTS dude. And you have the stones to say [i]I'm [/i]drinking the Kool-Aid?
You live in a different world man. Must suck to be afraid. I'll never get it and I'll never do it. And that's having lived in places where REAL violence takes place. Not some rube ripping off a six pack at the Piggly Wiggly.

@Ynotisay Well asshole I have had family members murdered so stick it up your ignorant ass.
Ynotisay · M
@Riverman Not sure I believe you dude. But if that's the case...that's about as bad as it gets. Doesn't change my position one iota. People live in strength or they live in fear. Very cut and dry. Living with strength doesn't mean being stupid. But it does mean not being afraid of life.
Riverman · 56-60, M
@Ynotisay I am not afraid. I am armed.
Ynotisay · M
@Riverman Yeah. You're armed. Because you don't have the stones not to be. Clear as day bud. I give exactly two fucks about your life. But I do care that there's too many people like you out there. We live in a gutless country. So thanks for contribution dude.

@Ynotisay Thank you for the attacks.
Ynotisay · M
@Riverman You're welcome.
