Analyst's note: Absolutely must read and carefully consider. Here is a discussion of the root of the problem in such recent tragedies in Arizona and Colorado and Connecticut and, now, Texas .... note that the problem is NOT the gun or the knife. Rather it is those who have lost touch with reality ... both politican and more specifically others with psychosis (mental illness at issue here) are the real problem. In the case of the politician working for "gun control," we have another name for their actions. It is called treason. Think about it. See DARE CALL IT TREASON
Read on and see how the seeds of more tragedies to come are even now being sown. Who will be murdered next as our politicians force us to live and operate in so-called "gun free zones."
[....] When legislators dally with measures targeted at guns or knives, instead of the very ill folks who sometimes use them to hurt others, they sow the seeds of tomorrow’s tragedies.
[....] When America allowed third-party insurers to decide how to appropriate mental health care resources, like wolves at chicken coops, the seeds of the tragedies in Arizona and Colorado and Connecticut and, now, Texas were being sown.
When American psychiatrists decided to allow the American Psychiatric Association to coax so many in my profession out of their role as expert therapists who also prescribe medicines and into the role of “medication” doctors seeing patients for ten minutes, the seeds of these tragedies were being sown.
When state legislators and public health officials decided that shutting down state hospitals and financially choking community mental health centers nearly to death was okay, the seeds of these tragedies were being sown.
And when state and federal legislators dally with meaningless measures targeted at guns or knives, instead of the very ill folks who sometimes use them to hurt others, they sow the seeds of tomorrow’s tragedies.
[....] The number of victims of murders with no apparent motive—born of under-treated, poorly treated or untreated mental illness—will be reduced not one bit.
[....] Leaders either fix things, do nothing or harm needed efforts. Those who would control weapons, instead of mental illness, are in the third category.
