I'm actually optimistic. This President has not shown the leadership to pass a budget, much less passing bills that would take away the rights of the citizens. I see no reason to believe that he will have the slightest success in his efforts since he's failed at everything else he has tried other than occupying the office.
his destruction of the 2nd might end up in front of congress.
if it does.
dems will be all for it because they like the idea of a socialist country.

the republicans will go for it because if they dont, the dems will call them names and say that they are happy to see children killed in the schools.

speaking of Mental Health


ThatOldGuy says:




For instance, how much have we heard the MSM talk about the anti-psychotic drug FANAPT that Lanza was prescribed (Adam Lanza Taking Antipsychotics - Business Insider The drug was even initially rejected by the FDA (don’t get me started on them) due to the side effects the drug causes, and competitors were concerned in producing it because it exacerbates the conditions it intends to moderate. It seems to me that this drug is at least *somewhat* involved in what happened. I guess the agendas of the media and the crooks in DC think otherwise. After all, healthcare is increasingly becoming socialized, and medical culture is increasingly leaning to “there’s a drug for that.”

Regarding FANAPT, drugs.com says: Psychiatric side effects including restlessness, aggression, and delusion have been reported frequently. Hostility, decreased libido, paranoia, anorgasmia, confusional state, mania, catatonia, mood swings, panic attack, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bulimia nervosa, delirium, polydipsia psychogenic, impulse-control disorder, and major depression have been reported infrequently.

Some of these look concerning and probably did contribute to Lanza’s actions. But the story has little to do with the drugs that change chemical processes in the brain. No, the guns are the problem. If only guns were made illegal, then tragedies and massacres would not happen.

What a pleasant fiction.

[clip]


Socialize the healthcare system. Ingrain this idea, that there’s a drug for every ailment, in the system (with disregard for the numerous potentially homicidal culminating side-effects with which each drug is riddled) and give doctors the incentives to prescribe these drugs. After all, quotas and actions are what matter, not results– this ain’t a market. There isn’t enough “doing” happening. Shocking numbers of Americans are on drugs which pertain to mental disorders; these people cannot be allowed to purchase guns, that’s irresponsible. Does it matter if someone is prescribed drugs but does not take them? Does it matter if someone disputes that they need drugs for an ailment, if they believe they have one? Does it matter if someone was taking drugs but is no longer taking them? Meh, let the politicians figure that one out; they know what’s best for freedom and safety. Any firearms that those patients own ought to be stripped from them in order to prevent disaster. Non-patients who own guns will simply have to be fingerprinted, photographed, and stored in government databases. For America.

Do I have this about right?

This is really a great move, from a political strategy point of view:

-The executive orders are immediate, are well within his authority, and are right in line with what the public wants
-Congress now shoulders all the load for passing what amount to very reasonable measures that have broad public support (Assault-Weapons-Ban being the exception)
-If Congress passes all but the Assault-Weapons-Ban, the White House can claim 99% success, and walk out a winner.
-If Congress does nothing, White House gets to blame Congress 100%, and the GOP/NRA eats it again

I imagine folks on the left just love watching the president walk out a winner while liberty and the American people are the loser. This all about who wins politically? How sad. Screw the 2nd Amendment; as long as the president walks out a winner and can pin the GOP and NRA as losers. Politics trumps our constitution.

Every one of these takes us that much closer to exactly that.

Start paying attention and you'll start noticing how many people think that the British and the Australians have gotten it right. You'll start to notice how many people have forgotten that the 2nd amendment exists to prevent tyranny, not so that we can all go duck hunting. You'll notice how many people either don't know or forgot that a large portion of the artillery used in the revolutionary war to fight the British was privately owned.

The number of those people (the ignorant) is multiplying every day. When their number gets big enough, government will be able to take what they please. It won't happen all at once, or there will be a war. It will be death by a thousand cuts.
