No guns for you!

Excerpt:
It had to happen. A taxpayer-funded study by the National Institute of Mental Health and the National Science Foundation (NIMH-NSF) announced last August [2003] that adherents to conventional moral principles and limited government are mentally disturbed.

NIMH-NSF scholars from the Universities of Maryland, California at Berkeley, and Stanford attribute notions about morality and individualism to “dogmatism” and “uncertainty avoidance.” Social conservatives, in particular, were said to suffer from “mental rigidity,” a condition that, researchers assert, is probably hard-wired, condemning traditionalists to a lifelong, cognitive hell, with all the associated indicators for mental illness: “decreased cognitive function, lowered self-esteem, fear, anger, pessimism, disgust, and contempt.”

IMO this bill would place a hell of a lot of power in the hands of shrinks, who so very often themselves need shrinks, which is obvious from the statement referenced above.

I agree with a previous poster, re jack-booted cops showing up at your door, armed with an order from some loony shrink and demanding your firearms. I would've said "loony liberal shrink" but that's redundant.
