Anti-Gunners may be suffering from “Delusional Disorder.”
USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- The irrational fear of guns, perpetuated by the anti-gun left, has worked its way into our society in such a way that causes people to take extreme action on situations that exist only in their minds.
Often times, when guns are the topic of discussion, those of the anti-gun mindset, believe their fantasies over the stark contrast of what is actually occurring in the real world. It’s so bad that the mere photo of a gun, a Pop-Tart chewed into the shape of a gun or someone making a hand gesture that looks like a gun, has become cause for alarm among those who have this condition. These irrational views are perpetuated by gun-fear-groups like Moms Demand Action and other anti-gun lobbying organizations.
The knee-jerk reaction to anything gun-related comes from people who have been cultivated, to fear guns, through concerted propaganda and rhetoric. The people who fall for this type of fear-campaign seem to be very illogical, irrational and emotionally driven when it comes to the topic of guns. These are often people who have never even held a gun in their hands. Critical thinking gets thrown out the window in exchange for dangerous, reactive, emotion.
What is the left trying to accomplish with their anti-gun brainwashing? In Colorado, 16-year-old Loveland High School Junior, Nathan Myers, was kicked out of school and told not to come back until the school was able to “conduct an investigation,” into what they called, a threatening Snapchat by the student. The short video consisted of footage of firearms in their cases, that Nathan took during an innocent day of shooting with his family. The guns were very well-kept and frankly not a bad collection. However, those in charge at the school, decided that this was a threatening video and Nathan should be investigated, causing Nathan’s Father to prove his innocence to the Police. The student who reported the Snapchat video claimed to be scared that Nathan would “shoot up the school.” This is the result of the anti-gun left and their misguided fear. It’s working exactly as the Anti-2nd Amendment Radicals planned, but the people at the Thompson Valley School can’t see that they, and others like them, are the ones who have been manipulated. Thompson Valley School District spokesman, Michael Hausmann, refused to comment on the school’s horrible accusations.
In another delusional cry for gun-control, a Pennsylvania man was convicted of disorderly conduct for making a shooting gesture with his hand. Stephen Kirchner, in response to his neighbor “giving him the finger,” replied with a hand gesture that simulated a gun. The delusional neighbor told authorities he felt “extremely threatened” by the gesture and Kirchner was found “at fault.” You read that right. The neighbor “felt” threatened by someone pointing their finger like a gun. It’s clear that something is happening to a group of people in our society, but what is it?
According to the Cleveland Clinic website:
“Delusional disorder, previously called paranoid disorder, is a type of serious mental illness — called a “psychosis”— in which a person cannot tell what is real from what is imagined. The main feature of this disorder is the presence of delusions, which are unshakable beliefs in something untrue.”
“These delusions usually involve the misinterpretation of perceptions or experiences. In reality, however, the situations are either not true at all or highly exaggerated.”
“People with delusional disorder often can continue to socialize and function quite normally, apart from the subject of their delusion, and generally do not behave in an obviously odd or bizarre manner.”
“In some cases, however, people with delusional disorder might become so preoccupied with their delusions that their lives are disrupted.”
Anti-Gun “Delusional Disorder” has been cultivated over many years. Just in time for “Red Flag Laws.”

Their primary problem is, they see themselves as uniquely qualified to lead, and regard the majority of the country, indeed, everyone, as unfit to run their own lives and affairs.
These are people that are scared and depend upon others to defend them. I call them spineless urbanites. They will believe any fiction in order to feel safe.
It would be nice if Hoplophobia could be added to the DSM, but the people who write the DSM are all hoplophobes.
They certainly have a mental disorder, self inflicted or not.
Sorry, the title probably should have read:
Does the Anti-Gun Mob Have a Self-Inflicted Mental Disorder? (Duh, YEAH!)
Should I be scared? I’m setting within feet of several weapons.
The Anti gun mob wants to disarm people who do not commit crimes, but do nothing about the actual criminals with firearms. I would call that a mental disorder.
You nailed a guy a debate this with on FB.
It is the nature of the Godless to act against their self-interest.
I have a long memory of back stabbings in the past.
The Democrats have been screaming for gun registration and bans since 1962.
1962-Call for Handgun registration ONLY! Rifles will not be affected.
1964-Call for registration of All guns and a ban on 5 shot bolt action army surplus rifles!
1968-Got a ban on small foreign handguns and 5 shot bolt action army surplus rifles, and “backdoor” registration.
1971 Call for Ban on small American handguns. “Rifles will not be affected!”
1975 Call for Ban on all handguns. “Rifles will not be affected!”
1981 Actress Lee Grant on ABC’s GMA yells...
“The NRA is a rifle organization! They should give up their handguns and they can keep their rifles!”
1984 They made a grab for the semi-auto rifles, and missed. Now gun owners know we are always up against a stacked deck.
1994 Ten year “ban” on “a-s-s-ault rifles”.
2000 Call to ban single shot .50 cal rifles.
Rest assured if they get a ban on any semi-auto rifles, they will be back for the handguns, and more, and more and more.
“Delusional Disorder” = Climate Change
In other words: Vaginas
They are liberals aren’t they? Liberalism is a mental disorder, many fine examples out there
"What makes these ritual bannings of depictions or imitations of real weapons politically effective (among those for whom they are effective) is a very primitive human thought process: belief in sympathetic magic.The actual object, the weapon, is imbued with magical power. Its very presence magically causes harm. It causes people to behave in evil ways. The rationale commonly offered is that the mere presence of a weapon makes people more prone to violence.
Sympathetic magic is the belief that what one does with an imitation of the thing with magical power will affect the actual thing. For example, in a magical religious context we see the image of a deity addressed, or given gifts or sacrifices. The magical deity is affected through the treatment of its image, and so performs its magic for the one who gives the image a gift.
In the imitation weapon banning context we have first the belief that the object, the actual weapon, is magic and causes those in its presence to behave in an evil manner. The sympathetic magical belief is that by banning the image or the imitation weapon, the magical power of real weapons to cause people to be violent will be lessened, or the real weapons will stay away from the presence of the faithful."
Also, see my tagline.
Why do all anti-gunners think they are the first one to come up with the small penis joke?
I did what?.
Dims..including their handlers and or body guards..should not be allowed to carry fire arms. Walk the walk.
Also, dims should pay reparations for their overwhelming support of slavery and Jim Crow.
That fits a guy I argue with on FB to a tee. So does the rest of the posted article, but you distilled to its essence.
