Gun rights hypocrisy

[Qball]

There's a bit of hypocrisy when it comes to gun violence that I'm getting tired of.

Why is it that we're concerned with the idea that mental illness causes mass shootings, even though it's demonstrably untrue most of the time, that people often ask politicians what they're going to do about guns getting into the hands of the mentally ill...

But, when Donald Trump said he wanted to ban Muslims from emigrating to this country until we know what's going on with them, people say what he said is "crazy".

Why is denying American citizens their 2nd amendment rights on what one might think of their mental state reasonable, but denying entry to immigrants from a part of the world known for incubating terrorists and inculcating anti-Western ideals is "crazy" and xenophobic. There may be more crazy white dudes with unaddressed mental illnesses who have committed mass shooting in this country, but let's not act like Muslim terrorists' body county is anything to scoff at.

Furthermore, Obama will make a point to stress the need for gun control, you know, for the people who follow the law; but, he won't even call ISIS by name because he doesn't want to invoke the religion.

He never mentions Isis ? Since when?

He calls them ISIL, which is a term of respect.

They hate being called Daesh, as in Daeshbags.

He never mentions Isis ? Since when?

Since never. He says ISIL which denotes him as a Jew-hating Muslim. ISIS is Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. ISIL is Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Do you know the significant difference ? Do you know what the Levant is and what is missing from the Levant?

That's the entire point of the mental health industry. To enable family and/or government to arbitrarily take an individual's weapons away for life without due process of law, and totally without recourse, redress, or even so much a pretense of defense in court.

Psychiatrists and head-shrinks are criminals: let there be no doubt. It's just that our present systems of crime and punishment are not sufficient to bring them to justice.

Long prison sentences and even death fail to deter shrinks from meddling in other humans' brains. Much harsher and more severe forms of punishment are needed to deter psychiatrists from their malpractice, already so far beyond the pale of human behavior that may be discussed on a public forum.

No guns = we need to crack your skull open with a baseball bat and spill your brains on the street in a back alley.
