NOW I understand why everybody here is freaking out about a potential gun ban....

Who decides what constitutes mentally ill?

And is the "cure" going to be pumping them full of dangerous pharmaceuticals?

Sounds like a great plan :)

everything is a mental illness. Look how many kids are on prescription drugs. like more than 50%. We're all mad here.

get a brian

According to current psychology everyone experiences mental illness at some point in their lifetime.

What you are saying seems to come down to "sane people do not need guns". Is that right?

and...
the other shoe drops.

Let's pretend we pass legislation not allowing anyone with any physiological history to own a fire arm.

THEY WILL STILL GET THEM.

Maybe we should focus on what causes these people to be this way, getting them better access to help, and actually helping them with better care than just resorting to drugs that cause suicidal thoughts and violent outbursts?

Gun control advocates are the worst type of thinkers, please try thinking more then one or two steps ahead and realize these problems and half assed solution attempts are much more complicated then "OMG GET RIDDA DA GUNS"

I specifically said HISTORIES of mental illness.

Not at all. I am a gun owner and I have zero history of mental illness.

OP, whats it like being a trolling half-wit?

So you're a proponent of the mentally ill owning firearms?

What kind of mental gymnastics do you have to perform to come to that conclusion?

Yikes!

just got me thinking..will these kids be denied their rights to own a firearm? due to their "history"?

How is this trolling?

I just spent the last 5 hours looking over peoples comments on this site. There are a LOT of people admittedly on anti psychotic drugs and SSRIs.

Use your head.

If they have a HISTORY of true mental illness they have no right to have a firearm.

I did.. its something you yourself forgot to use.. Keep trolling.. Anti-gun tards like you have already rolled over.. Enjoy being a slave

How can they be denied something from which they had no choice? Kids don't just one day "decide" to get hopped up on the latest big-pharma drug, they are forced!

In the newest psychological manual (DSM) coming out, internet addiction is considered a mental illness. If OP is wasting time on here I bet they've done more than their allowed hour and a half a day.
In fact I think they just admitted to wandering the site for hours.

I'm a gun owner you dolt.

A SANE one.

One already begging for his guns to be taken.. what a sane gun owner you are.. Half-wit

Maybe we should settle this like they did in the old west..

All of the pro-gun folks line up over here with your fav. gun...

All of the anti-gun folks, line up over here, with whatever you protect your home and families with..




DRAW... motherfuckers.......

All in the name of research because I was wondering why so many people had a problem with the mentally ill owning firearms.

You should do some searches, you would be shocked at how many people on here admit to having a mental illness.

Do you support the mentally ill being allowed to own firearms?

You are not sane according to current professional psychological standards.

Sorry.

Nobody is begging for shit, just trying to get you morons to use your head.

Do YOU think the mentally ill should own firearms?

A simple yes or no will suffice.

So you support the ones with histories of mental illness owning guns?

I'm not anti gun, I am a SANE multiple gun owner and enthusiast.

Why can't you just answer the question?

Should the mentally ill have the right to own firearms?

Undiagnosed is not the same as sane, you're in denial.

and a trolling half-wit retard.. I think your guns should be taken becuase you are a retard and there for a mental illness is in you..

Tell you what. Let's make a deal. You go get some help and a diagnosis for your condition and I'll sit down and give you a well thought out answer to your question.
We just want to see you well OP.

Libtard That was funny.

I'm a libertarian leaning constitutionalist, but nice try painting me into your limited view of reality.
