Isn't that NEVERENDING article a violation? If it's not, then it should be. And I thought my posts were long. WOW. cck, I had to scroll forever to even find out what hoosiermama was responding to. Who is this person who keeps coming on and posting articles and links that have nothing to do with the threads? prayers are with these brave men and women. |

The following is my commentary on the above article. What have you to say Mr. Forster?
Coming from a family where mental illness has been a problem for generations I know there is a need for psychoactive drugs. That being stated, the mental health field in general is one that is poorly moderated, and unless one has an abundance of funds they are usually left at the mercy of public mental health clinics. Government mental hospitals are little different from backwoods county jails where "inmates" are treated like vermin and denied basic human rights. The criminally insane often wind up in prison with the general population when they need serious help. They rarely get it, even from a hospital.
That being stated, I fully support everyone's second amendment right to bear arms. What right does anyone have (aside from private property owners,) to declare any place in America a "gun free zone?" Self defense is a right that is as self evident as the right to breathe. Every American citizen should make it a point to educate themselves about firearm safety, know how to use firearms, and keep them on their body or within easy reach at all times. The "people who shouldn't have guns" that anti gun legislators like Hillary Clinton commonly refer to are those who have displayed by their conduct that they cannot or will not handle them responsibly by committing murder, armed robbery, and other unprovoked acts of violence. I would add to that list rapists, and ALL sex offenders. Such people should be locked in maximum security prisons for life without the possibility of parole or put to death. Most should be put to death, particularly those who commit premeditated murder, forcible rape, or commit ANY sex crime against a child.
I have had access to loaded guns since I was three years old, and knew they were not toys, and never bothered them as a child. I have also saved myself twice by being armed. Fortunately, I did not have to use the gun either time. Once my would-be attackers saw that I was armed and fully prepared to kill them if necessary they quickly lost interest in harming me.
The solution to the problem is properly treating mental illness before it gets to the point where a person becomes violent and irrational, and making sure that healthy citizens are armed and capable of defending themselves and other innocent people. The government would like for you to believe that it is in everyone's best interest to ban firearms. This is absurd. If none of the citizenry is armed it would make it far too easy for the government to simply herd the people like sheep. That isn't liberty it is tyranny. Keep your guns, even if you have to fight to the death to do so. If they are trying to disarm the public you have nothing left to lose anyway.
