Not really, maybe look at trying to solve why all these kids are messed up these days.... Probably has something to do with the decline of family values and increasing rate of divorce in this country, but hey what do i know. Fucked up people are always going to do fucked up shit, that's just the way it is. Best thing we can do as a society to protect the good from the bad people would be to lock up the bad people and not let them out, or just execute them and call it a day. That and maybe if everyone took personal responsibility for their safety and not just rely on the police to protect them.

There is a certain price you have to pay for living in a free society. What the libtards are proposing is total .gov control from womb to tomb. It's an illusion or more correctly a delusion, since total control is impossible you will always have acts perpetrated by those that will absolutely will not care what the results of their actions are. The obvious ones might be more easily discovered but some will slip thru the cracks and go on to commit heinous acts. Liberty for all will be the sacrificial lamb on the altar for such nonsense. Ask yourself this....would banning all alcohol stop DUI ?? History has already provided that answer, same for the WOD. People will do what they want, part of that free will thing and all. It's tragic for those it happens to just like the death of anyone, but you can't hold the rest of the country hostage to someone's personal tragedy, not realistically anyway. |

The universal background check keeps coming up as a way to keep guns out of criminals and the mentally disturbed....that seems to be the answer but how would it work? The liberal mind set seems to be well we need to do what we can to keep guns away from those types . I get that part of the argument and I agree but their argument and solutions seem like one never ending circle jerk . The question is. "Is there really a fix on the mental illness side in relation to gun crime?" Short answer...no. End of thread. The rest of it is just pointless arguing about who defines mental illness and who controls the drugs that sometimes help. |

THEN what are your children and grandchildren that you've spent years trying to influence into gun loving conservative Christian(insert personal beliefs here) going to do when the come to their school, office, house of worship and tell them they're criminally insane due to their personal belief systems????? There have already been incidences where a women lost a son, she became depressed, she took anti depressants for about a year. This is now on her medical records and with Obamacare it will follow her EVERYWHERE via her s/s number..AntiDepressants will cost you your gun rights... |

Most of the "evidence" of a link between SSRIs and violence consists of nothing but assumption and observed correlation. The logic is often DEEPLY flawed, and ignores the self-selection of the people who are taking SSRIs in the first place. I am curious if you can provide some example of properly controlled large-scale studies that actually demonstrate this link, as opposed to a claim and some google links.

The problem is who gets to define mental illness? We know what happens when the antis define an "assault rifle" (anything semi auto). What happens when they have a different way to disarm the people? Mental illnesses that prohibit gun ownership will become anyone who has ever been depressed or had a panic attack. People will fear seeking proper medical treatment for fear of losing their rights.

No way to predict.
Many go undiagnosed or untreated, then snap so even if you could keep all the clinically mentally ill from getting guns, knives , cars, etc, you still have a large number that will never be diagnosed with the potenial to either shoot someone or drive down a crowded side walk. That said, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. |

Quote HistoryAnd with the government becoming entrenched in healthcare you don't see your solution of forcing people to see a psychiatrist to hold the potential for Americans being disarmed? Please be honest. ERic No not really because with the proper medication and psychotherapy most disorders can be balance and the individual will have normal behavior. I actually think it would be better for everyone because the individuals would get the correct medication and dosage needed and a trained professional to talk to if needed. What happening now is MD's are basically prescribing the same drug and dosage to almost every patient, look at some of the TV ads that say "ask you doctor if this is right for you". |

Actually.. if you want to reduce Violence, Crime, and Shootings.. The population needs to fall significantly, and move to a more rural setting. Major cities are hubs of violent crime and lot of it has to do with overpopulation and the poverty that is more easily supported in an urban area. The more people there are, the more outliers there are who commit mass murders too.
So, level the cities with all of the people in them, and you have a good start. |

No one is saying that a lot of folks don't use them and no one is saying that you should lose your rights for taking them. People like me?
Bud you can get worked up all you like really don't care one way or the other but I will still tell you what I think on the subject .If you need drugs for proper brain function that is nothing to be ashamed of just like any other illness is nothing to be ashamed of however i feel that someone that takes psychotropic medication should also get regular visits with a professional who specializes in that field First of all we aren't buddies. Second I don't need pills to do anything. My point is simple. People like you are falling into a trap. Eventually this will come around and bite gun owners on the butt. The anti gunners are smart. Eventually this will be used to try and disarm a lot of good people. ERic |

The problem lies in defining "mentally unstable" and finding someone qualified enough to do it.
Many proposed gun bills would have people who don't know ANYTHING about mental illnesses signing off on that little permission slip. Furthermore, everything and anything is an "illness" these days. It's no longer acceptable to be bummed after a divorce or unsatisfied with a bland life, it's "depression". It's no longer acceptable to become frustrated or outwardly angry, because otherwise you have "anger issues" or you have some sort of "personality disorder". Hell, even a lot of law enforcement agencies would be understaffed if this were to be the case. So then what? You've only disqualified the people dumb enough to be truthful about their lives from getting a firearm. The most unstable and unsuitable people to own guns are going the be the ones cunning enough to hide that from others. From a post I made on Facebook about this last night. |

Fix number one is to get Family MD's to quit handing out SSRI's like candy and only let psychiatrists prescribe them. Please defend your answer. Not with the usual nonsense thrown around here. Use actual data that shows a correlation between SSRI use and increased violence. There are tens of millions of citizens using these medications and yet mentally ill shooters are are few in numbers. Can you explain this please. ERic He can't. It would take actual research, instead of the easy road where you can just parrot some talking points. My brother in law takes an SSRI and they help him. He's a great guy, and I'd trust him to have my 6 before everyone in my life other than my wife and kids. So you brother taking SSRI's makes you an expert on the subject or do you have some other form of educational background in the subject like I do? https://www.google.com/#q=ssri+linked+to+violence 1. Does your degree confer you a license to prescribe these drugs to patients? 2. Do you have any peer-reviewed empirical data to prove your assertion, or are we supposed to accept Psychology Today, Time magazine, and Michael Moore's opinions? |

The universal background check keeps coming up as a way to keep guns out of criminals and the mentally disturbed....that seems to be the answer but how would it work? The liberal mind set seems to be well we need to do what we can to keep guns away from those types . I get that part of the argument and I agree but their argument and solutions seem like one never ending circle jerk . The question is. "Is there really a fix on the mental illness side in relation to gun crime?" Yes. And that answer has fuckall to do with background checks. A quick examination of sex offender registries and no-fly lists shows pretty conclusively that the powers that be cannot be trusted to create a list of "crazies not allowed to own weapons" without mission creep and outright abuse. Not in a million years will you be able to prevent every incident of someone going postal. But - If you're an able bodied adult and can't be trusted with a weapon, then you can't be trusted to walk around free. Period. That we even have to have a discussion about this just shows how dysfunctional things are becoming. I have a lot of reservations about our prison system and how many people we lock up, but our mental health system is a joke. It doesn't matter how "mean" it is to say it, but some people are just batshit. Now, politically, you have to remember that most of the lefty leadership really doesn't give a fuck about crazy people murdering anyone. They're wealthy and are pretty convinced that things like that only happen to other people. Their non-stop gun grabbing has little or nothing to do about mental health issues and everything to do with power. |

Yes. Institutionalize crazy people; thats what we did up until the '70s. How's that for simple. Who gets the power to call you crazy and why? Maybe your neighbor thinks you are crazy because you have lots of guns, he calls the cops, the DA chooses a doctor that is anti-gun. Now you are locked up because your neighbor doesn't like your hobby. Doesn't sound that simple. It is that simple. A doctor does a psych eval and makes a recommendation to a judge, who commits you. We did for most of the 19th and 20th centuries. You're institutionalized for your own safety and the safety of others, and receive the treatment you need. We as a nation stopped doing this in the late 70's to save money, and now dump mentally ill & dangerous people onto their families, or the street if their families can't/won't take care of them. Homeless people in the '70s tended to be substance abusers, now the majority are those with serious mental issues that the states refuse to take care of. You have an Adam Lanza for a son? Good luck getting the state or your insurance company to help. We give money to healthy adults for doing nothing, but dump those that need our help the most on the street. |

It's not like these same people haven't been around us all along, we just have better diagnosis for what's wrong with them.
Everyone gets a free chance to behave. if you can't, you get the government trying to put in jail. It's not perfect, but it's the best we can have. The more we strive to increase the feeling of safety past that, the more infringement you invite into your life. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Most of the "evidence" of a link between SSRIs and violence consists of nothing but assumption and observed correlation. The logic is often DEEPLY flawed, and ignores the self-selection of the people who are taking SSRIs in the first place. I am curious if you can provide some example of properly controlled large-scale studies that actually demonstrate this link, as opposed to a claim and some google links. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Can you explain this please. ERic One of my degrees is in psychology with a focus in pharmacology, SSRI's do in fact have a have a strong correlation to violence and if you would like to research it a simple Google search of (ssri and violence) will get you some research and stats on it. SSRI's are the most commonly overly prescribed drugs in the US, even more so that pain medication at the moment. Psychotropic drugs are shown to be over 50% more effective when psychotherapy is included in the treatment however that don't happen when MD's are giving these out like candy.

The logic is often DEEPLY flawed, and ignores the self-selection of the people who are taking SSRIs in the first place. I am curious if you can provide some example of properly controlled large-scale studies that actually demonstrate this link, as opposed to a claim and some google links. Actually Harvard has done in depth studies on this as well the England Journal of Medicine, if you have a paid subscription to their journals I can send you the links to access these. I also still have one 19 page study saved on my computer that I used on a research paper a few years back that has some great in depth analysis on SSRI's and their relationship to suicide, violence and mania. It was published by the International Journal of Risk & Safety in Medicine and it offers some great research on the topic. IM me your email address and I will get it to you. |
