This Day in History: April 17

After some early successes against British merchant shipping in the Irish Sea, on April 17, 1778, Jones convinced his crew to participate in an assault on Whitehaven, the same town where his maritime career began. Jones was thinking in his later memories about the reluctance of his senior officers (having tactfully avoided such matters in his official report): "Their aim, they said, was gain not honor. They were poor: instead of encouraging the morale of the crew, they excited them to disobedience; they persuaded them that they had the right to judge whether a measure that was proposed to them was good or not." As it happened, contrary winds forced the abandonment of the attempt, and drove Ranger towards Ireland, causing more trouble for British shipping on the way. [More]

I like it all. Rights and reason.

Here is some absolute reasoning.

Guns do not kill people, people kill people.

Therefore, IF anyone official or otherwise attempts or intentds to control guns with laws BEFORE seeing that the the most effective mental health care possible, it is severe neglect to reasonable performance.

Guess what? You might guess it too. Even if all those who trying to control guns with laws, government operating with laws stating they have to have the best medical care possible for the people, were approached with an advanced form mo mental health care, they would not follow laws.

Courts would not recognize, follow and uphold laws mandating that municipalities benefitting from state health care plans must work with the public to develop alternative, experimental, treatments. So the extreme violence with gund continues and that is used to justify the effort to use laws to control guns.

Here is the basic treatment with some leatter from my county mental health clinic showing acceptence of this treatment.
