Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:<\/p>\n
\nDemocrats in Congress are staging a sit-in for gun control in response to a gay man shooting up a gay nightclub<\/span><\/a> in Orlando.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>People suffering from mental illness are banned from owning guns for the obvious reason that they\u2019re a danger to themselves or others.\u00a0 Homosexuality was a mental illness until 1973, when it was redefined as normal.\u00a0 Did gay men get less dangerous or were they never dangerous?\u00a0 Should we have banned them from owning guns in the past?\u00a0 Given the evidence of Orlando, should we ban gay men from owning guns now?<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Today, Liberals claim Conservativism is a mental illness<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 And Democrats want to characterize receipt of Social Security Disability benefits<\/span><\/a> as an adjudication of mental illness. Plain to see where that is heading.<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>And, of course, the Soviet Union had a well-developed network of psychiatric hospitals devoted to housing patients suffering from \u201csluggish schizophrenia,\u201d a person determined to be mentally ill because he failed to conform to Socialist ideas about the Truth. Won\u2019t surprise me a bit if Hillary revives that plan and expands it to include anybody whose name does not appear on the DNC campaign donor list.<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>And yet every bus, every street corner, every train yard has a bum, a homeless vet, a person who actually suffers from mental illness but won\u2019t take his meds and nobody can make him because Liberals insist on liberty above public safety.\u00a0 Clayton Cramer\u2019s book \u201cMy Brother Ron\u201d<\/span><\/a> should be required reading before any discussion of mental illness and firearms.<\/span><\/p>\n
