The end result will be that anyone desperately needing mental help but who doesn't want to lose their rights will not seek that help...and now you have a crazy person with a gun, just what you sought to avoid.
excellent analogy!!
Is this an unintended consequence because liberals can’t imagine people would change their behavior and avoid seeing a shrink if temporary help could permanently cost them both their source of recreation and their right to defend themselves, or is it the intended consequence as liberals hope to trigger more mass shootings by denying mental health services to those who own firearms? It comes down to deciding whether liberals are stupid or evil, and there is overwhelming evidence for both sides.
