what does this have to do with lawyers?

But at least the lawyer politicians have read the Constition. It''s the ones who get voted in simply because they say the right things that scare me, the ones that know nothing about the law.

Don''''t you just love lawyers?

Not at all. What makes it worse is that when lawyers grow up, they want to be politicians.

MichelleM99 - you really have to try to read what you type before hitting the enter key (some effort please). If you have thoughts that you want to share, it would help if we could understand them. I am sure you have insightful points... but the lack of effort and care in your typing makes them very murky.

Actually you are wrong. The PEOPLE, not the STATE were given the right to bear arms. This was because the founders had seen what happens when a government gets too strong and they wanted the PEOPLE to have the power to overthrow the government.

The MILITIA was NOT ruled by a GOVERNMENT. It was created by the PEOPLE.

Oh yeah, well the state where I live is considering new laws that make the mental health records of all politicians no longer confidential. And anyone who refuses to submit their records upon demand, will be waterboarded.

Oh sure, and we need full background checks, registration, and waiting periods for: baseball bats, tire irons,knitting needles, and....? That''ll solve the problem.

Mercyme,
You sound like some of those people who come to see me with anger and impulsiveness problems.
So, how are your relationships going?
Play nice

The state where I live is considering new laws that make the mental health records of someone suspected or convicted of a violent crime no longer confidential.

And, for the record: mentally ill people have about the same propensity towards violence as the rest of us. The rate is not higher.

We are all vulnerable to a killer, however I am a therapist and I keep a small canister of pepper spray on my desk next to my pens (no-one has ever noticed it). It is not plausible to keep a loaded gun in a therapist''''''''s office.

Not if you''''re gonna hang it on the wall, but why can''''t it be concealed like your pepper spray?

Well, I suppose a gun could be kept in a desk drawer, but my main goal would be to disable the attacker and get away. Keeping the pepper spray within reach and seems safer to me. Also, I don''t worry so much about it being used against me.
Michelle,
Not everyone who sees a therapist is mentally ill. I have seen many people who come in for "relationship issues" when in fact they have anger and impulsiveness problems. Hence the relationship problems.
