Psychologist's open letter to gun advocates

[OakRiver]

Your challenge is how long can you keep a straight face before laughter/despair sets in

An open letter to gun advocates

I made it to the second line.

 

[Dead Duck]

That head shrink is NUTS!







...and she will never understand.

 

[db1959]

I didn't get past the picture.

 

[printcraft]

Freud would say she clearly thinks everybody is as deranged and irresponsible as herself.

 

[MCgrease08]

I sure hope she isn't actually treating patients who need honest to goodness mental heath care.

She'll never understand because, simply put, she doesn't want to. She begs those who own military weapons (so... does she mean pre-1986 Ban weapons?) to help her understand, but she has already attempted to poison the well by invoking George Zimmerman, that people owning these weapons want to prevent Muslims taking over the country, or to reclaim the country from minorities, and that people who own "AK-47 weapons" have "disappointing body parts".

I tells hope she isn't actually treating patients who need honest to goodness mental heath care.

That would be enough to drive someone nuts!

 

[KellyinAvon]

I made it to sentence 3, the picture was hard to get past. I think she's off her meds.

 

[The Ninja]

Wow, that's an old and tired drum to be beating. Of course, I'm sure she's not interested in actually listening to answers to any of the "questions" that she asks in her letter.

"To the people who own pressure cookers, why do you need such a device that can be converted to a weapon of mass destruction capable of wiping out a class of children.

I want you to help me understand why your tiny pecker makes you think you need this device you cretin"

same here. All I could think was...Loony Toon!

 

[SnoopLoggyDog]

I read the whole letter and she did a thorough job of outlining her irrational fear of firearms and gun owners who lead responsible, disciplined lives. She probably does not want to acknowledge that for the past 30 years, she has been in close proximity to people with lawful concealed weapons, on an almost daily basis. Over that time, probably nothing negative has happened in all these encounters. That therapist needs a therapist, because she has more issues than Time magazine.

They do tend to resort to that particular ad hominem very readily, don't they? Odd for someone who claims to be the only rational side in the debate.

 

[flatlander]

And these are the kind of people who will determine if we can own firearms if "common sense" gun laws are put in place.
Now THAT is more scary than her picture

Maybe we should similarly co-opt "common sense" to mean "whatever I agree with".

 

[hopper68]

The founding fathers gave me the right to own guns just like they gave her the right to say stupid things. Since I am suppose to be limited to muskets, she should be limited to pages printed on a printing press and distributed to guys on a corner by horseback.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Classic projection.

The Arabs say, "you accuse me of the symptoms of your own disease."

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

She certainly hit on all they usual critiques. Problem is, they've all been refuted and explained many times before. The rational answers to her willfull ignorance are there, if only she'd truly seek them.

 

[rugertoter]

I didn't get past the picture.

Well, I have to admit, as soon as I saw that stupid (I would be the first one to die in a catastrophe) face of her's, I knew I would not be able to get through her drivel. She needs to mind her own damn business, because nobody gives a damn what she thinks...at least anybody who would maybe make it through said "catastrophe".

 

[Leadeye]

A quick background check provides that she is a BA English major and holds no degree in psychology at all. Jobs include only government, social and college work, along with being a volunteer in Al Gore's climate change program. A person with no life experience outside in the real world. Paid big bucks as a grief counselor by state institutions these days I'll wager but with what qualifications? Another example of the connected class cashing in big time on your tax dollars. How much anybody want to bet bloomy and company are footing the bill for this.

Always follow the money.
