We're the Only Ones Getting Better Enough

Depression, neuroses, suicidal thoughts...

Y'know, if this were a less politically correct group, say, NRA members who were confessing to these dark, destructive urges, do you think the gungrabbers would be jumping all over lawmakers to demand some kind of credentialed and standardized psychiatric "all clear" before they should ever be allowed to get anywhere near a gun? Do you think they'd be fine with us saying we've self-diagnosed, come to terms with our inner demons (which were all caused by others!!!), and we've decided we're OK--we can now walk among you openly armed and you're safer because of it...?

I can imagine feelings of self-loathing and depression working for a civil-rights-suppression agency...

For posterity, the 'dark, destructive thoughts' appear only in the first 41 seconds of the video.

I applaud the people in the video for coming out, not only about their sexuality (from 00:45-10:00), but also the associated mental health issues stemming from growing up in unaccepting environments (00:00-00:41).

But, yes, absolutely... if this were a less politically correct group, anti-gunners would be all over this video. :-|
