We need more ‘shrink control’ than we need gun control
In view of the rash of shootings recently, may I suggest that what the United States needs is not gun control, but shrink control.
When you trace the cause of most of these shootings, it is inevitably mental-health problems in the shooter, and all too often the shooter is receiving or has received treatment.
Since physicians claim to be scientists rather than artists, it’s past time to subject the various theories of psychology and psychiatry to scientific testing and then reject the theories that fail the test.
As for the law, perhaps the liability laws should be revised to make the psychiatrist or psychologist who says a person represents no threat to himself or others subject to suit when the opinion turns out to be wrong.
It is as plain as an elephant at a tea party that when someone turns a dangerous person loose on society, he or she shares responsibility for whatever harm that dangerous person causes. We hold dog owners liable if their dog attacks someone, yet we let psychiatrists get away with unleashing people who are far more dangerous than a pit bull.
Crimes are never caused by inanimate objects. They are always caused by human beings.
