I am really excited to begin a position as a mental health consultant for the civil rights organization the National Rifle Association (NRA) protecting our constitutional rights.  Now that my finances are set for life I am taking a step back from my PMHNP Private practice putting my patient load on 2 new employees I am planning on devoting more time to advocacy.

Interesting take from someone so concerned about human fetuses that he’s willing to force unwilling women to bear children against their will. Maybe he just needs them for target practice.

I never said anything about this...please correct your post.

What about brave Kyle?  He would have been murdered by the ANTIFA black supremacist sympathizers.  He would have also been possibly raped as one of them was convicted of raping 5 and 9 year old boys.

Elective abortions are fetus murder plain and simple, for ectopics and other dangerous pregnancies that is a completely different topic.  As for your daughter her choices just come from poor upbringing.  When you are raised an environment that doesn't' value life then you will likely not value life.  

Brave Kyle? His entire defense was that he was afraid... he also was uninjured by the unarmed men that he killed and shot. It's odd that you imagine that Kyle was a vulnerable as a child.

You are allowed to believe that  elective abortions are some type of murder or that a woman who has an abortion doesn't value life... the suggestion that its "plain and simple" is the thinking of a zealot. That is consistent with the general tenor of your comments.

She was referring to the fellow that minimized the number and seriousness of mass shootings in this country.

What if that nice St Louis Lawyer couple hadn't been armed when their neighborhood was being terrorized? 

The husband of this "nice" couple said 

“God came knocking at my door last Summer disguised as an angry mob — and it really did wake me up,” McCloskey said.

NRA + mental health

From the American Psychiatric Association 12 yrs ago: missperception that insane criminals committing most of gun murders.   Yet in 2022, CEO LaPerrie still stating same after Texas and Ohio mass shootings.  Mass killings are described as 4 or more persons killed during one event; however, statistics show when it comes to mass killings, most children die at home.

NRA Takes Fire for Stance on Mental Illness

Quote

Dec. 24, 2012; -- The National Rifle Association has come under fire by an association of psychiatrists for its characterization of people who commit violent crimes as "monsters," "lunatics" and "insane."

The American Psychiatric Association, which represents more than 30,000 mental health professionals, released a statement that expressed its "disappointment" over the gun lobby's use of those terms in the wake of the massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary school in Newtown, Conn., where Adam Lanza, 20, slaughtered 20 children, six school staffers and his mother.

In a news conference last week, NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre repeatedly used the word "monsters" and "insane" to describe people who carry out mass shootings. ...

APA's President Dr. Dilip Jeste said in a statement over the weekend that LaPierre's comments were unfair and inaccurate.

"Only 4 to 5 percent of violent crimes are committed by people with mental illness," Jeste said. "About one quarter of all Americans have a mental disorder in any given year, and only a very small percentage of them will ever commit violent crimes."

APA's CEO Dr. James H. Scully added that LaPierre's remarks serve to perpetuate the idea that mental illness and evil are one and the same.

"This is simply a relic of the past and has no place in our public dialogue. People who are clearly not mentally ill commit violent crimes and perform terrible acts every day. Unfortunately, Mr. LaPierre's statements serve only to increase the stigma around mental illness and further the misconception that those with mental disorders are likely to be dangerous," Scully said....

...Bob Carolla, a spokesman for the National Alliance on Mental Illness said he agreed with the APA's statements and also pointed out that it hasn't been established that Lanza suffered from any sort of mental illness. Authorities have nothing but anecdotal information on Lanza's mental state at the time of the shootings.

"One of the things that may be especially distressing for individuals who have a mental health condition and their families is this automatic leap based on stereotyped perceptions linking mental illness and violence," Corolla said. "Statistically we know the relationship is very small."...

 

Hope you are working with the NRA to dispel the misconception that those with mental disorders are likely to be dangerous.

 

Mass killing database: Revealing trends, details and anguish of every US event since 2006

Guns surpassed car accidents as the leading cause of death for children and teenagers in 2020. The school security industry has grown into a $3.1-billion-a-year market, but our database shows that when it comes to mass killings, most children die at home.

 

Important Message From Wayne LaPierre: NRA's Wayne LaPierre Stands Strong for Law-Abiding Citizens

Quote

Recently we watched in horror as two unspeakable tragedies unfolded in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio. Like all Americans, we at the NRA extend our deepest sympathies to the victims and their families, and we salute the courage of our law enforcement officials and first responders. But there’s nothing about an insane criminal committing a horrible act that should lead to the government taking guns away from law-abiding citizens.

Did this article really refer to a mob of angry violent black supremacists who forcefully broke down a gate to enter a private neighborhood as "protestors"?  Wow

Standing in the face of alt left extremism, anarchy, and black supremacy is bravery.  Unfortunately, most of our young men these days don't exhibit the strong character traits and morals that Brave Kyle exhibited the night he had to defend himself from a convicted anal rapist of children.

You're the one who praised the story of the  St Louis gun toting couple. I just supplied the newspaper reporting.

Yeah...his defense was that he was afraid, so brave is obviously an incorrect choice of words.
