Red Flag Laws and Psychiatry

If Red Flag laws don't scare you or make you a bit skeptical, they should. I would say that almost everybody on this site is going to check at least one of the symptoms if not multiple symptoms for "Schizotypal personality disorder".


Schizotypal personality disorder (STPD) or schizotypal disorder is a mental disorder characterized by severe social anxiety, thought disorder, paranoid ideation, derealization, transient psychosis, and often unconventional beliefs. People with this disorder feel extreme discomfort with maintaining close relationships with people and avoid forming them, mainly because the subject thinks their peers harbor negative thoughts towards them. Peculiar speech mannerisms and odd modes of dress are also symptoms of this disorder. Those with STPD may react oddly in conversations, not respond or talk to themselves. They frequently interpret situations as being strange or having unusual meaning for them; paranormal and superstitious beliefs are common. Such people frequently seek medical attention for anxiety or depression instead of their personality disorder. Schizotypal personality disorder occurs in approximately 3% of the general population and is more common in males. ~ [link to en.m.wikipedia.org (secure)] (I know Wikipedia isn't the most reliable of sources but it was the easiest to find).

Hmm, doesn't that sound like a lot of the people here?

Red flag laws are nothing but a way to label any form of dissent as "Mental Illness" so that your weapons can be taken away.
