    >Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee’s administration accused the National Rifle Association of wanting to use involuntary commitment laws “to round up mentally ill people and deprive them of other liberties,” according to documents drafted by the Republican’s staffers as part of their initial attempt to pass a gun control proposal earlier this year.

    They should have red flag laws and make semi-auto rifles 21 and up, same as handguns

    Except… the round them up and give them guns

    All: People with mental illnesses shouldn’t possess weapons.

    The NRA: Detain everyone who is mentally ill.

    Just what people need the government tell people who is “mentally ill”. This person running against me in an election they must be mentally ill.

    Let’s start with those in the NRA.

    So people with Schizophrenia? People with Bipolar, BPD or AvPD? Depression? Narcissism? Sociopaths & Psychopaths? who would be identified how? and rounded up where? and who does that leave behind?

    Oh, when I read the headline I thought this was a recruitment drive.

    This seems reasonable. The NRA views people as property. With the inhumane garbage this organization spews, how can anyone take them seriously?

    In my experience, the type of people who want to ’round up the mentally ill’ are also the type of people who are hostile to therapy or counseling and definitely hostile to easy access medical services. So they aren’t saying “lets treat them!” they’re just saying “let’s make prison 2.0”

    Cameron Sexton’s plan to cure gun violence presented by CoreCivic. Who will we put in our prisons if their isn’t any violent crime?

    Hitler did too.

    Alright. Easy enough. You can start by rounding up the people who work for and support the NRA. High incidence of mental illness in that group, to be sure.
