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.

I agree with you. Cars kill more people than guns, but you don't hear people trying to outlaw cars. One thing I have noticed in mass shootings, often the person has been oppressed, whether by bullying, being ridiculed, or in some way belittled. Their anger builds inside of them until they finally lash out and for awhile, they are the ones in control. They are not being bullied anymore. Between that and mental illness, I personally believe that is at the bottom of these horrific crimes. The people that do it are to blame as much as the people that belittle the shooters earlier in their lives. We need to stop bullying and respect one another as human beings!!! That goes for everyone.

@luv2fish That takes effort on everyone's part. Banning guns is the easy way and wont work.
@luv2fish because cars are not designed to cause death. Moreover, statistics are often used by corporations to mislead the masses. Want to normalize the sample? Let’s compare deaths per thousands rounds of ammo vs thousand miles of a car. See the difference? Moreover, guns are not just for safety. We are addicted to the lust of power! We have magazines and conventions about guns. Ever been to a convention about a CCTV? But no point saying these things in a world where we are so adamant to live like real life mad max movie!

@Texanfire You asked for it. It's simple, you outlaw guns and only outlaws will have guns.
@luv2fish who told you that? Outlaws have guns because we have a freaking Christmas sale on them. In fact “outlaws” in Mexico are purchasing their killing devices from our soil. Safety is just an excuse to satisfy a lust for that power to intimidate and end life. NRA made us all junkies and we can’t stop the madness. Who cares about kids lives as long as our sickening lust for guns is satisfied.
@luv2fish most developed nations have extreme control on guns n guess what? Their outlaws are not killing by the dozens. We are competing for highest ranked deaths by guns with one of the most dangerous places on earth. Do we have most mentally ill people? I don’t think so.
