Thread: MEDIA SETS GUN CONTROL NARRATIVE, SHUTS DOWN MENTAL HEALTH DEBATE

The left prefer victims it's the liberal utopia, no discussion of how our society has become so filled with hate, little values/morals simply blame an inanimate object rather then speak of the reason behind the division in our country the mental illness, kids filled with hate over broken homes single parents, the left wants a secular society and that is what they are building piece by piece, in the end firearms will be the least of these ignorant folks problems.

Common sense has died in our country watching television news is much like watching monkey's in a zoo.

In my opinion we are seeing the fruit of the progressive movement. Children alienated from family and moral teaching and marxist indoctrination in the schools. JMO

Gun rights advocates blame Adam Lanza's medication
By Victoria N. AlexanderDec 15, 2012 - 3 hours ago in Crime


In several speculative reports following the massacre of children at Sandy Hook Elementary, defenders of the Second Amendment claim that Lanza was likely on medication which may have caused his homicidal behavior.

In an article citing various reports that Adam Lanza was "on medication" or had a "personality disorder," Mike Adams writing for Natural News, opines that instead of gun control, "we need medication control!"

Adams' article was picked up by Infowars and other alternative news sites that support gun rights. Such groups claim that the Second Amendment was specifically written to ensure that citizens can protect themselves in the event that government devolves into tyranny. According to Adams, the mental condition of the shooter is more relevant than access to weapons. Writes Adams,

The Columbine High School shooters were, of course, on psychiatric drugs at the time they shot their classmates in 1999. Suicidal tendencies and violent, destructive thoughts are some of the admitted behavioral side effects of mind-altering prescription medications.

As gun rights advocates try to redirect Sand Hook massacre discussion away from gun control, others call for stricter laws. But while no confirmation has been made that Adam Lanza was on prescribed medication, a non-proft mental health watchdog group called the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) corroborates that

Psychiatric drugs are documented by international drug regulatory agencies to cause suicidal and homicidal ideation, mania, psychosis, worsening depression and a host of violence inducing side effects. Numerous school shooters were under the influence of these drugs when they went on shooting rampages ... Yet there has never been a federal investigation into the link between psychiatric drugs and random senseless acts of violence.

CCHR has produced an 11-minute documentary called Psychiatry’s Prescription for Violence, which features

Dramatic recordings of actual 911 calls made by desperate family members—and even by a killer himself—convey the chilling reality behind today’s headlines. Here is the shocking truth underlying the current wave of violence devastating our homes, schools and communities.

Numerous experts are interviewed in the documentary, including physicians and victims' families, making a strong case for the need to investigate the role of psychiatric drugs in tragedies like Sandy Hook.

RECENTLY DEFEATED CONNECTICUT MENTAL HEALTH BILL MAY HAVE STOPPED FRIDAY'S SHOOTER



by AWR HAWKINS 16 Dec 2012
A troubling revelation has broken regarding a mental health bill recently defeated in Connecticut during this calendar year. Had it passed, that bill could have possibly taken Adam Lanza off the streets so he would not have been free to commit his heinous act on December 14.

In February 2012, Connecticut Senate Bill 452 (SB452) was put forward to remedy the fact that Connecticut was one of less than ten states in the U.S. to lack an "assisted outpatient treatment" (AOT) law.

But the bill was passed to Connecticut's Joint Committee on Judiciary in March, where it quietly faded away because of opposition by those who viewed it as "egregious" and "outrageously discriminatory."

Had this law passed, it may have forced Adam Lanza to be treated for his alleged mental illness instead of allowing him to roam free, and ultimately to kill 26 persons and himself in a vindictive rage on Friday.

Although there is some variation, the way these laws work in other states is simple: AOT laws preempt older statutes that only allow the mentally ill to be forcibly institutionalized for treatment if they've done harm to themselves or others. This is possible because AOT laws allow a state to institutionalize a mentally ill person for treatment if the state has reason to suspect such institutionalization will prevent the individual from doing harm to self or others.

Why didn't the legislation pass? Because the ACLU and other "civil liberties" groups and individuals cried foul. The ACLU in particular said 452 would "infringe on patients' privacy rights by expanding [the circle of] who can medicate individuals without their consent." They also said it infringed on patient rights by reducing the number of doctors' opinions necessary to commit someone to institutionalization.

To be clear, no one can know that the passage of SB452 would have stopped Lanza for sure, as there's no guarantee a doctor or mental specialist would have seen the warning signs in time to institutionalize him for treatment.

However, it is worth noting that proponents of SB452 had the prevention of situations like Friday's shooting in mind when they tried to provide Connecticut residents with another layer of protection from the mentally ill (and criminal).
