So far there have been SIX people who've been ERPO'd in MA

McLean's reputation and finances have been going south for awhile now. They do more to get rich people off with insanity defenses (think drug addled party children and desperate middle aged wine mom cougar types) than they do to help the genuinely mentally ill.

They've also let certifiably insane people out and about when it's obvious they need a longer stay in the looney bin. One NESer's wife did two stints in the place because of this deficient standard of care.

He’s a PhD at McLean.

PhD != MD. A psychologist cannot prescribe drugs, yet this f***nut wants to be able to be the one who decides if you can have guns or not.

Update Massachusetts’ ‘Red Flag’ Gun Law Needs An Update

“So in our state of 6.7 million — almost twice that of Connecticut’s — we are petitioning only one-fifth as frequently. In my experience as a forensic psychiatrist, I see two dozen cases meriting petition a year

What does this ***bag want? A quota? Maybe get some kickbacks if enough people lose their guns every month.

 

[Horrible]

If people aren’t fit to own firearms, they shouldn’t be voting. Where is the outrage there? How can the state arbitrarily take someone’s rights away without due process but still honor some rights?

He is becoming an argument as to why people don't seek help. More and more all I see is people wanting additional power over others, I guess every small mind is looking for a fiefdom.

This is the real problem. You’re going to have people with mild symptoms of say, depression or anxiety afraid to talk to anyone about it. People will either let a mild problem grow into a big one or self medicate and inflict additional harm. All because they’re scared to tell their doctor. Good luck getting gun owners to open up when seizure of property and costly/lengthy court battles are a possibility for having an off day. One of my favorite words of all time describes it perfectly;
counterproductive.
