A Veterans Affairs psychiatrist walked back a comment he made on Facebook Tuesday in which he told a gun rights supporter to “off yourself.”
Gregg Gorton’s Facebook page says he is both a professor of psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania and a staff psychiatrist at the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Medical Center, where he has worked for 11 years, WCAU-TV reported.
Gorton was responding to another online user who posted a comment in favor of more people owning guns. The original Facebook status was also posted by an apparent gun rights supporter, the Military Times reported.
“This is why I always carry my 45. I am all for gun control,” the user commented. “If there is a gun in the room, I want to be in control of it. I do commend you on your efforts and hope you continue trying to take away our rights. Because of you people more and more Americans are buying guns. Thank you. Hopefully you idiots will get more and more attention so that more and more people will buy guns.”
Gorton responded bluntly: “off yourself, please.”

Or the two can now get married.
Emperical evidence suggests that psychiatrists are as crazy as, or often even crazier than their patients. (That's why they became psychiatrists!)
And if you refuse to answer, they assume....Yes....they “own”.
Doctors kill four to five times as many people by mistakes as are killed by guns every year. Doctors should pay more attention to medicine than politics.
People like you and I lie as little as possible. Lying your way through life like Obama and the Clintons is no way to live. But as far as lying to a doctor on guns....... whoever this report is going to does not deserve the truth. You lie.
btw I have never been in this situation with an MD so have never had to lie
My view exactly. Liberalism is a mental illness by default, an they are dangerous, too.
My friend’s daughter was freaked out.
She said some creeper started talking to her. He knew her name, where she lived, her family’s name, where she worked, where she went on last vacation.
She said he was creepy and all that scared her a bit.
Guess where he got all that information... right off social sites.
Here are some things opponents of the left should know:
1- They HATE you, not just in a rhetorical way, they literally hate you with a burning passion they can barely control or hide.
2- In their eyes you are a cancer. An ignorant troglodyte lower than a rabid animal. You are insane, your arguments are worthless, everything you say is a lie. You cannot be redeemed. Your very existence is an offense to the planet.
3- To deal with you at best you can be confined in a prison camp with others like you but that is only a stop on the way to their final solution. All they need is justification and orders from their supreme leader. Wait and see.
rumpswabbing moonbat he is

the way I view it they are using deception to take my guns so they can oppress me. I am using it to keep them and maintain my ability to defend myself. It's the fight for survival. I think God would not find fault with me on this one but then that's just an educated guess.
Even politicians put stuff out there on ocial media that makes them lose elections but that's all I'll say about that...: )
I would never trust any physician with my personal information. Fortunately, I don’t have mental health issues (that problems seems to affect mostly democrats), but even if I did I would not be willing to talk to a shrink with the power and possibly the urge to deny me my God-given rights.
This is why I carefully choose my doctors. My OBGYN is an Air Force reservist, a conservative and one of the most compassionate, God-fearing people I’ve ever met. My PCP is a small-town guy who runs his practice with his nurse wife and has a head shot of Reagan in his office.
I’m in good hands. :)
Very very smart!

In Minnestoopid I did the beta male liberal act and gave the line that guns were scary. Taqqiyah, disinformation, what ever else you call it, I applied it thick. As far as I was concerned, I was living in enemy territory. I am now back in Texas. My shooting friends include my doctor, several police officers, and a county prosecutor.
The point of the article is that a VA psychiatrist told someone to kill them self.
There is a high rate of suicide among Veterans, and this psychiatrist just told someone to commit suicide.
It shows a lack of concern and intellect on the part of the VA psychiatrist.
Is this someone who should be treating Veterans?
Has Facebook closed Gorton’s account yet for hate speech?
The question needs to be asked -
what is it you want to do to the people of the United States that you’re unable to do while they still possess the means to stop you?
The shrink needs a shrink
No worries he is employed by the VA so doesn’t need to be competent
always answer no.
Many articles on how the VA uses so many drugs. He should actually lose his license but will just be transferred west.
:snort: No joke there...
