For about another dozen times this week, the radio, TV, internet, or actual human being has hit me with the concept of gun owners having a mental disease. Whether it be just owning guns, having a lot of ammo, etc.
The first real attempt at this was a proposed personality disorder, I think in the late 90s, called the "martial personality disorder" or something like that. It was basically for people all into guns, weapons, martial arts, etc. While it may apply as seeming weird with some comic book guy living in moms basement and being a mall ninja, how would it have applied to the successful business owner/father/husband former operator with the exact same traits shows how it really has no niche.
On to liberals being crazy.
Liberals have a deluded mindset known as magical thinking. They think or want something to be a certain way- they believe that wishing or wanting something makes it so. No matter how much evidence to the contrary, they remain firm in their conviction.
I will let you fill in all the examples you want.
"Violence never solved any thing"
"If you just got rid of all the guns there would be no violence"
are just a few I can think of.
It is at worst one of the symptoms of schizophrenia.
It is at best a well described stage of childhood thinking that, along with some other liberal ways of thinking, is appropriate for a two year old.
It is so prevalent, I have to say, most refer to it as the "liberal" way of thinking, and is a disproportionately female way of thinking.
So, the next time some libtard accuses you of having psyc problems,
ask them if they are schizophrenic,
stuck in one of Piaget's early childhood stages of development,
or just an idiot.
(I am not talking about the gun control/mental health control issue getting a lot of media attention. That is a whole other conversation. But, AFTER THE FACT, a lot of those nut cases were obviously nut cases. There are however, thousands of other people with the exact same history who have not done anything violent for every one that has. Mental health is awesome at explaining stuff after the fact but not a very good predictor. That also does not consider the hundreds of thousands/millions of people with a diagnosed mental disorder and prescription that are not going to do anything violent. Going after "mental health" is like saying you are going to lock up every urban black male between the ages of 15-25 wearing a hoodie to cut down on crime. It would cut down on a lot of crime, but you would be sweeping up a lot of people that should not have been. I have never heard the "but if it just saved one life" line applied to this.)
