Slippery Slope

Oh great, now our right to defend myself from psychiatrists, other mental health professionals & militarized police forces w/ whatever explodes is being threatened by some do-gooder.

In the wake of so many shootings, healthcare providers should be thinking about how we might do more to prevent those who are severely mentally ill from obtaining firearms. To be sure, we must protect the rights of those who are mentally ill—most of whom are never violent—especially since they already suffer under many other burdens. But, still, the law will have to change. Otherwise it’s hard to see how we can place an effective barrier between the mentally disturbed and lethal weapons.

"Suffer under many other burdens" indeed. Nobody knows the trouble ...
