Social Justice Solution – by Justin Nutt
A gunman went on a drive by shooting spree on the night of Friday, May 23, 2014 at the University of Santa Barbara campus. These shootings left 7 people dead and another 8 injured. Many media outlets say that the answer to this is gun control; that banning guns, and changing the regulations connected to gun ownership, is the key. This is also often the focus when it comes to school shootings as well, the gun not the mental health of the gunman.
Two items are of concern when it comes to this idea as the answer to prevention of events such as these.
The first concern is we have to look at the idea of banning guns or the change in regulations or gun ownership in a similar way that we look at events such as deaths caused by drunk driving. A car, when a drunk driver is behind the wheel becomes, in effect, a 2,000+ pound bullet which can murder countless people the same way that a gunman with a magazine filled with rounds can. A gun, like a car, is a tool: it can be used as good or it can be used for evil. It is not able to decide which it will do; it is the user who holds that power.
When has a death that occurred as a result of a drunk driver ever been blamed on the fact that there is the ability to have “high capacity” bottles of alcohol, or the car which was being driven been blamed the way which the gun was? Have DUI’s and the deaths are the result of drunk drivers led to a ban on alcohol or cars? We tried prohibition of alcohol, and banning guns would lead to much the same result, those law abiding citizens who owned guns would be turned into criminals simply because they want to not be penalized for the actions of others.
THIS VIDEO MAY BE DISTURBING TO SOME
Having watched the video, and as someone who has conducted hundreds of hospital psychological evaluations and who has a private practice, the gun issue aside, watching this video the clear cut fact is that this shooting was a result of mental health issues.
Clearly, from a 6 minute video, it is impossible to be 100% on a diagnosis for this young man,but watching the video I would present this…
It is apparent this man is highly psychotic and most likely has a personality disorder as well. This video contains statements that show both grandiose and persecutory delusions. He felt he was superior and it was his duty or calling to cleanse the misguided world of all of those who received what so clearly (in his mind) he was deserving of. Most likely, he felt that this mission would have gained him respect and admiration from others, as they would have realized his superiority.
Back to the gun issue, the idea of a calling and mission is what is most concerning when it comes to blaming on gun control for these events. This troubled young man would have used a knife, a car, a bomb, whatever he needed to complete his “mission.” Avoiding the idea of mental health as the cause to be addressed and making it a gun control issue does nothing to help change the epidemic of school and other types of shootings that seem to be occurring in America. In fact, this does the complete opposite, the misdirection being used to prove the need for gun control take the focus off the need to address mental health issues.
If we put mental health to the back burner and make it anecdotal as a part of the story, not the issue to be focused upon, we will continue to see the presence of problems which are connected to mental health issues such as this type of shooting. This is not saying that all individuals with mental health problems are dangerous, most in fact are not, but it is saying that most, if not all, violence is connected to items which are in some way connected to mental health. This is where the focus must be placed, and where the work done to create change.

Sounds like they’re laying the groundwork for an enlarged role of psychiatry in disarming Americans.
Don’t be surprised if they push for a mandatory psychological screening of all gun owners, all of whom will fail, of course.
“Getting guns out of the hands of psychopaths is only sensible” will be the cry from congress, and that’s hard to argue with if you don’t understand their real intentions.
Looks like they are laying the groundwork to enlarge the role of psychiatry for Everyone (all ages, gun owner or not).

You are right, Jolly Roger. They will stop at nothing to get our
guns. For me personally, I have already told my children that if they come to get mine before I go on to be with the Lord (I am up in my 70’s and an expert shot), they will have to shot me, because I will never surrender. Never!!
“Having watched the video, and as someone who has conducted hundreds of hospital psychological evaluations and who has a private practice, the gun issue aside, watching this video the clear cut fact is that this shooting was a result of mental health issues.”
(Oh, yes, we must require the public to pay the therapists lots of money for endless psycho therapy and psycho analysis while zonking them with psycho drugs, maybe put the drugs in the water like fluoride. Then take away their guns, knives, saws, bats, silverware, dishes, glasses, linens, belts, shoelaces, power tools, cars, land, homes, and food. Did I leave out anything?)
And this assessment is by JUST IN NUTT, who can’t tell a poorly acted script from real life. Oh, the universe has a sense of humor.
Very, very poorly acted script.

My Fellow Patriots:
Another Gov’t Op to disarm Americans.
Here is the “Tell-Tale” statement made by this actor, pertending to be the father (from the news article):
“He said his son died because Congress rejected gun control legislation in the wake of the 2012 Newtown, Connecticut, school massacre.”
Yeah,.. right,.. because of course if your son just shot and stabbed a bunch of people, and then killed himself,.. this is of course what will immediatetly be your only concern.
Another False-Flag,.. brought to you be the same people that brought us other epic works of stage craft like:
– 9/11
– Boston Bombing
– Oklahoma City
– Sandy Hook
– Aura Colorado Shooting
– Seek Temple Shooting
– WTC Bombing
– and so on,.. and so on.
We here at FTTWR,.. have warned our regulars that a MCE (Mass-Casualty-Event) is coming because,… IT MUST COME,.. they have no choice,.. they MUST disarm Americans,.. therefore,.. they MUST perform some kind theater involving a “shooter” to push the Disarmament Agenda,.. period,.. bar none.
There WILL be more.
Stand ready.
JD – US Marines – These PIC (Pyscho’s-In-Charge) can NOT finish extracting your wealth, stealing your country,… or exterminat you as long as you are armed,.. ergo,.. they MUST put on more Dog-N-Pony MCE’s to justify trying to disarm an entire nation.,…. ain’t going to work,.. NOT this time around.
.
Agreed.
Gotta love these psycho babblers. His analysis of a homosexual actor reciting a script is a laughable. Imagine, going to see a Dr Nutt for mental health issues….
Dr Nutt: Good morning Mr Looney
Mr Looney: I have a problem with people laughing at my name
Dr Nutt: Oh really? How the f*ck would you like to be me? That will be $100….NEXT!!!
I want a refund.
This show wasn’t worth the price of admission.
