		<description><![CDATA[ 
  I was born in 1937. The U.S. population was less than 129 million.  Today our population is 320-350 million, depending on the no. of illegals  and/or unregistered.  OF COURSE we are going to have more mass killings.  We had mass killings in the past but they were fewer because we had fewer people. This fact is in addition to the liberal b.s. policy re: the certifiable psychotics                             .  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a libertarian, and someone against any more gun control, I absolutely agree with Chezwick on this.  &quot;Conservatives&quot; should be careful trying to suggest that government controlling the mentally ill will lower gun violence.  We should not give government power to decide who is and is not sane.   I think it&#039;s wrong even in criminal law cases.   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, well, we didn&#039;t have any Orwellian monstrosities running wildly roughshod over our rights when it was a common event for disturbed people who didn&#039;t pose a present danger to self or others to be committed to mental hospitals involuntarily prior to 1975. Deinstitutionalization was almost universally seen as a disservice to the mentally ill, not as a blow for personal freedom.  And so it turned out to be. 
 
No one has made much complaint about the psychiatric profession&#039;s having authority over making dailiy determinations about the mentally ill being dangerous to self or others, as they do right now, and have done since long before the Donadlson case in 1975. They seem to be doing an acceptable job right now. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You do have to interfere with people&#039;s freedom sometimes.  I once read of a 70 year old woman who cycled through the Andes.  Nobody told her that for her own good, she shouldn&#039;t do it.  Nobody said that medical personnel would be needed to rescue her at 20,000 feet, and so she shouldn&#039;t do it.  That is good.  On the other hand, you get 70 year old women with Alzheimer&#039;s who can&#039;t be trusted to go on a walk out of their front door.  They get lost, wander for days, and require organized searches to find them.  The same is true of the mentally ill.  There&#039;s a saying about some of them that they &quot;died with their rights on&quot;.  You have to remove some of their freedoms, in order to give them freedom.  But there are problems with this. For instance, some mentally ill people commit crimes despite taking drugs, and the drugs can be wrong for them.  I knew an old lady who was given Haldol, which made her delusional, until it was removed.  Presumably some of the recent mentally ill killers had seen psychiatrists, but the psychiatrists didn&#039;t sound the alarm, at least sufficiently.  Taking away guns from normal people, to protect us from guns in the hands of insane people and bad people, is not the answer.  For one thing, it would not work.  We do have to force some mentally ill to take drugs, or even to be incarcerated, with all the potential for mistakes that are involved.  And that&#039;s not going to be a hundred percent solution either. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[     Ann Coulter seems to be an advocate of involuntary commitment of the mentally ill. If this is done absent a predicate act on the part of the mentally ill person, we are treading on very dangerous ground. In this atmosphere how long do you think it would take for mental illness to be defined downward until it became a political view unfavorable to the Obama administration. Do you want the people who gave us political correctness to give us the standards for normal behavior? 
 
     Please recall that in the last decade of the Soviet Union political dissidents were sent to psychiatrists who declared them mentally ill on the basis of their political ideas. They were then committed. The United States and other western nations opposed the entry of Soviet psychiatrists into international bodies that dealt with psychiatric issue because they believed that Soviet psychiatrists acted as agents of the state. 
 
    I agree that the armed citizen is the best bulwark against crime. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[And what agency is to decide whom the &quot;psychiatric professionals&quot; should investigate.... in the absence of any criminal or threatening behavior? Obviously the state. Apparently, you wish to empower the state with such prerogatives. Not me. 
 
Adam Lanza&#039;s mother knew the extent of his illness....and she bears primary responsibility for not facilitating his institutionalization. He was obviously &quot;seriously ill&quot;, but unlike your contention, he never ran out of resources because he had her to enable him. 
 
In the absence of her cooperation, how could outside agencies have possibly prevented Lanza from his eventual rampage, given that he exhibited no violent or criminal behavior until the very day he perpetrated his evil? Should the government have initiated a psychiatric investigation of him because he didn&#039;t work?.....because he didn&#039;t venture outside very often?...because he didn&#039;t have friends?.....because he liked video games?  
 
I&#039;m all for committing people who have exhibited behavior that indicates they are a danger to themselves or others, but Lanza didn&#039;t fall into that category....at least from the outside looking in. No mental health regimen, short of an Orwellian monstrosity running roughshod over our rights, could ever have prevented his rampage, any more than tightened gun laws could have.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[AS usual a brilliant argument by Ann Coulter.  But the best line of all was not part of the argument, it was: 
 
 (Let&#8217;s start with Meghan McCain!) 
 
That is going to raise the ire of a few people. I must say as much as I deplore the Obamas the one good thing that came out of the 2008 election was that we do not have Cindy and Meghan McCain living in the White House! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tag, you should see what they are trying to do with veterans, the head shrinks think that they all are a danger to everyone else and that PTSD is the new normal and that non should be able to own or possess any type of weapon. I can understand the reason to lock up the dangerous, but these shrinks are making decisions based on feelings, not medicine and that to me is a very scary thing.   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The psychiatric professionals, who have been defining and deciding who is mentally ill, seriously or less seriously, will decide, as they have been deciding for many decades.  
 
They also decide currently, and have been for many, many years, who is dangerous to self or others in deciding on who should be involuntarily committed, and doing a reasonably good job of it. It hasn&#039;t been a slippery slope so far, and since Donaldson brought the gimlet eye of constitutional law to bear on the issue, they&#039;ve done quite well. Unforturnately the professionals have been so willing to err on the side of caution that we have derelicts wandering around our downtowns instead of getting much-needed care.  
 
Yeah, I said that seriously mentally ill people run out of resources. Neurotic mentally ill people generally have enough on the ball that they can compensate in the within-normal-limits world. Psychotics use up the patience of everyone.  
 
I also said mentally ill people are dysfunctional; evidently you were too busy finding things to cavil at that you missed that. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wouldn&#039;t be very surprised if none of the three possible outcomes you predict never came about; I think it&#039;s far more likely that the majority of Americans are addicted to feeding at the public trough, and when the crash comes, most Americans will be left helpless and floundering, wondering what happened. The financial crash seems most likely, but the entire world will crash if we do, so it will be largely a matter of the end of the welfare state and a return to the dog-eat-dog world that has existed for most of human history, with the entire world population living mostly in poverty and a few at the top leading the rest of us. 
 
Given that, I doubt that anyone is going to get very exercised about violating the rights of the mentally ill or gun owners. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;&quot;Liberals Go Crazy for the Mentally Ill&quot;&lt;/i&gt;  
  
I can fully understand why liberals would be nuts about the Mentally Ill. Because they&#039;re all cut from the same cloth and connect easily with them. There&#039;s nothing rational about liberalism, or Progressives! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s debatable whether the mentally ill are more violent. Does this include depression, chronic anxiety, etc.?  
But bear in mind that many psychotropic meds have been clearly linked to CAUSING violence. Some even have black-box warnings posted on them. 
America switched from the mental institution as a method of dealing with the mentally ill, to drugging them up. Guess why... (where&#039;s the money???)  
It&#039;s certainly true that many killers lately have been disturbed - it&#039;s also true that most (if not all) of them were on psychotropic meds which were of course supposed to &quot;cure&quot; them.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There shouldn&#039;t be any restrictions on the 2nd amendment period, and certainly not any extension of background checks or other means to build a database of gun owners. Nor should there be any efforts made to increase the governments (local, state, or federal) ability to involuntarily commit anyone based on the &quot;mental health professionals&quot; opinion. Knowing the record of the government as it stand, you really want to give them the ability to commit people for evaluation? What keeps them from locking up someone who supports the 2nd amendment for evaluation for &quot;schizophrenia&quot; simply to harass? Or maybe it&#039;s not simply harassment, maybe being taken in  for the evaluation, even if released 10 hours later, puts your name into the NICS database as a &quot;no go&quot; due to that mental health evaluation. That is what will be happening soon with obamacare forcing the medical records of people to be organized into a database to &quot;make it convenient for a patient and their doctors&quot;. Year right, I can see the day in the near future when anyone prescribed a certain medicine, or fits a certain profile the doctors are told to look for (supports constitution, critical of government policy, etc.) will be barred from buying a gun, and they won&#039;t know until they try to make the purchase. What happens next is anyone&#039;s guess. 
        The real debate that needs to be going on is that of the medical community itself. First of all, a huge number of doctors and psychiatrists are arrogant close minded people who follow right along with what they are told to think in med school. They are quick to dispense medication after medication as solution to problems when they are in fact band-aids for symptoms at best. There is not only a lack of concern for nutrition, exercise and dietary supplementation these things are actively ridiculed by many &quot;professionals&quot; in health care. I have nacrolepsy and I know first had how the doctors want to load you up with antidepressants, stimulants, benzodiazapenes, etc etc ad nauseam. It took me a few years to realize that I could get the same benefits from diet, exercise, and supplementation (amino acids and b vitamins in my case) without being dependent on a pharmaceutical medication. 
    The real problem, at the very foundation, is the decline of our society in this country and it&#039;s loss of moral character. No one wants to admit this but it&#039;s true. I&#039;m afraid it&#039;s going to take a painful blow to this society before people realize these things. Just seems to be the inherent stupidity of human nature, demonstrated time after time in the annals of history. We are looking at the possibility of civil war, WW3, or financial collapse, each being a real possibility if things don&#039;t seriously change. The real scary part is we might get all three at once. (This post was not proof read, don&#039;t have time to do it, so please forgive any errors in grammar/spelling) ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Of course, Jeanne, you immediately set up a straw man and attack rather than relying on facts or reasoning.  The fact is that the crimes are committed by criminals.  Criminals don&#039;t care about following the law, including background checks and gun registration.  That&#039;s why they&#039;re criminals.  So they will have guns.  Okay, got me so far.  What people oppose is measures that will restrict the ability of law-abiding citizens to have guns or measures that are certain to morph into databases, visits from the authorities, seizures, etc.  If you want to have a cow, why don&#039;t you have one against democrats who elected Obama who placed Eric Holder in charge of DOJ which has brought something like a grand total of 45 prosecutions out of the hundreds of thousands of violations of existing Federal gun laws that have occurred in the past 4 years.  Well, either that or move to Chicago where you can be a victim of gun crime in the  (Democrat controlled) city with the most stringent gun control laws in the nation.  Bon voyage. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have plenty to say about holding on to my guns, but in the end I just say, &quot;A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED&quot; with the emphasis added.  
 
I think the Second Amendment should be respected and upheld just the same way the First Amendment is. ]]></description>
