Well, if you meant "a few years of law school" then you would know a lot more about the legal system than most people. Doesn't mean you can be a lawyer without a lot more work, of course. (Finishing school, taking the bar exam etc) But if you needed help with a legal problem, you'd be better off talking to the guy with a few years of legal training than a random guy on the Internet.

No. The example of Ron Paul, M.D. is more like saying that a particular lawyer - after 3 years of law school, including a summer internship in the DA's office, and spending decades of practicing mostly family and commercial law, including decades of client contact and counseling, all the while being continuously exposed to other lawyers and law journal articles on all aspects of the law ..... would still have far more understanding of a criminal defendant's constitutional rights, and sensible-versus-stupid trial strategy, than a social worker who counsels clients at a battered women's crisis center, despite the fact that he doesn't specialize in criminal defense law.

normiss 622 #179 February 4, 2013 I fully agree with what you've said in this post. I would have thought a SEAL with his experience might agree giving a PTSD sufferer a weapon as a foolish idea. When a situation like this is used to bolster and support more gun control, I will fight that with all I have. There will always be stupid people out there, can you explain why my rights must be infringed upon based on idiotic behavior of a loony? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't quite understand the concept of ushering the mentally unstable around guns or a firing range either, the same thing Ms Lanza did with her son in trying to socialize him, But one thing I agree with: Just because there are dumb things done, my rights should not be infringed. Nor should I be taxed either or rights taken from me. Maybe instead of pushing pills the mental health community might develope some guidelines: 1. Don't let nutjobs around guns, knives, acid, autos, beer, wisky, rope, schools, ducttape, large trash bags, shovels, drugs or prostitutes. 2. Keep an eye on the nutjob etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kallend 1,651 #188 February 5, 2013 QuoteThat may be true, but PTSD is a specific area of skill. I still don't believe your average OB/Gyn is much practiced in the identification and/or treatment of it. So do you know more about treating PTSD than Dr. Paul? If not, you might stop wasting bandwidth.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,435 #194 February 5, 2013 >Ah. I'm a DUI driver. ODD, since I'm not. ?? Your freedoms are restricted because of other idiots who drive drunk and kill people. You would likely have no problem at all driving your car a few blocks home with a BAC of .10. But you do not have the freedom to do that because other people have done something similar and killed people. Thus, your freedom is restricted - even though you yourself would not drive around killing people while you were drunk - because of what other people do. If, however, you say that since you will never consider driving drunk, such laws do not affect you at all, that's fine. By the same reasoning, though, people who will never own guns are not affected by restrictions on them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 622 #195 February 5, 2013 My freedom is in no way restricted. I am a responsible gun owner as well. Nobody wants to take my car away do they? Nor are they restricting the type of car I purchase. Apples and space ships my friend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
regulator 0 #196 February 5, 2013 My wife was telling me this story one of her operators was telling her 4 months ago: She works at dow chemical She was at work and one of the operators came up and told her about what happened to him when he came home from work. When he pulled in to the house he had to do a double take because he saw a woman completely naked running through his yard. There was a younger man chasing her with a knife. He intervened and she jumped in his truck to help. She told him that he had just killed his father and burned his body. Her boyfriend was just released from the military and had been at home for less than a month. Obviously he lost his damn mind. However I have no idea if PTSD had anything to do with it, but it was known he did serve in combat. http://www.khou.com/news/Charred-body-found-in-Brazoria-County-man-believed-to-be-victims-son-charged-164769416.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
