Catch-22

Advocates for the mentally ill are questioning Houston police officers' use of stun guns on suspects with mental problems, many of whom were unarmed and then never charged with a crime.

So that's why we need to create a registry that identifies who the nutjobs are so we can keep them from buying guns--because otherwise, they might not want to be shocked, and might take steps to prevent it.

But wait a minute--that would be a rational response. And to try and prevent rational responses would be irrational...

My head hurts. Who exactly are the crazy people here again?
