That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner. Please give it a look, and tell a friend.If seeking mental health care comes to be seen as grounds for disarmament, more and more cops and military personnel--you know, the "Only Ones" we should trust with guns--will be reluctant to seek help for their Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. This, at a time when over a decade of harrowing combat in Afghanistan and Iraq is affecting hundreds of thousands of veterans. Is that what we want?
The objective here is not to imply that those Connecticut state troopers who have sought and received help after witnessing the horrifying aftermath of Sandy Hook should be disarmed for "mental illness," but to illustrate the dangers of failing to tread extremely lightly with any plan to suppress gun rights for reasons of mental health.
