By Hook or Crook: Robbing children of their birth Right to self defense any way they can. CDC declares 1 in 5 children mentally ill.

By Hook or Crook, Robbing children of their birth Right to self defense.

Be very careful of any more upcoming "mental health" anti-self defense bills.


The anti-self defense rhetoric of the CDC is anything if not blatant.  They have tried and tried to turn self defense into a "public health" issue for decades.  While no one wants a person who is seriously mentally deranged and dangerous in possession of steak knife, firearm or car, when nearly half of all Americans start getting classified as "mentally ill", one must start to question the agenda.


For example David Hemenway, director of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center and author of the book Private Guns, Public Health, claimed that “we know very, very little about the deterrent effects of guns”.  In his writings and speeches he asserts the only way to circumvent Constitutional protections of firearms is to turn them into a public health issue.

There are many examples of this, such as the Institute of Medicines: Priorities for a Public Health Research Agenda to Reduce the Threat of Firearm-Related Violence, which was head CDC members way around an official CDC meeting under such a title.  Such items discussed include Technologies, Strategies, Techniques and protective and potential risk factors.

"Protective and potential risk factors".  When you consider how returning war veterans are currently being treated in relationship to being allowed to defend themselves and the desire of some in Washington to to lump anyone getting counselling or any anti-depression medications on to a "no buy" NICS check, it's not hard to see where this next push for a mental illness classification is coming from.

The CDC just announced that 1 in 5 US children may have a mental disorder.  Check out the CDC publication; ADHD, Tourettes, Autism, Autism spectrum (which is a catch all), mood disorders, anxiety, the list goes on.  I'd not be surprised if the number of 1 in 5 isn't increased to 1 in 4 by the end of the year.

Does the CDC just want more money or is something more insidious at work?  Given the history of the CDC, what is currently happening under existing laws including rules clearing in violation of the laws, I think so.

While I encourage you to read the story for yourself here is a sample:
 "
Mental health is important to overall health. Mental disorders are chronic health conditions that can continue through the lifespan. Without early diagnosis and treatment, children with mental disorders can have problems at home, in school, and in forming friendships. This can also interfere with their healthy development, and these problems can continue into adulthood.... up to 1 out of 5 children experience a mental disorder in a given year... Because of the impact on children, families, and communities, children's mental disorders are an important public health issue in the United States.

Public health surveillance [and] Ongoing and systematic monitoring of mental health and mental disorders will help... Public health includes mental health. CDC worked with several agencies [such as the IOM I linked to above]  to summarize and report this information. The goal is... to develop better ways to document how many children have mental disorders, better understand the impacts of mental disorders, inform needs for treatment and intervention strategies, and promote the mental health of children. This report is an important step on the road to recognizing the impact of childhood mental disorders and developing a public health approach to address children's mental health."

"Confiscate, Confiscate, Confiscate"  and "any way we can" are two very recent headlines that show how, having failed in both the court of public opinion and the Supreme Court as well as most state legislatures and in Washington these anti-self defense zealots are trying yet another avenue.

Under the moniker of 'mental health' nearly one in two Americans could be barred from owning firearms.  Sound extreme?  It's not, under a version of one failed bill, simply attending a mandatory PTSD debrief could disqualify a service man or woman from owning firearms.  Why not the traumatic event of losing a loved one in a car accident?  PTSD is another 'catch all' that does apply to survivors and relatives of car accidents.

The fight for our Rights and the Rights of our children is far from over.  I encourage all of you to stay active, there are some legislators and so called mental health "experts" who want to disarm Americans at any and all costs and won't stop until they succeed.
