I'd feel much safer walking around Philadelphia if I had a gun. And I don't blame any student (college or otherwise) for wanting to have a gun at his side after what's been going on the past years in this country. People are less likely to commit violent crimes if they know that 95% of the people around them are armed.

"I was wondering why a swastika painted by some frustrated ladies in their bathroom turned somehow into red flags of a hate crime" Somehow? This kid needs to be kicked out of the university: "More people than you can imagine are tired of this all. It’s just sad that they resort to petty vandalism rather than speak their mind like I am." [/ QUOTE ] If you are going to ask about the somehow you should quote what he says next also. He said something about someone shooting people because "he hates them" is not a hate crime. This guy doesn't seem so bright, but there is nothing in these emails that would indicate he needs a mental health evaluation.

Re: mandatory mental health evaluation for gun-rights supporters
There was nothing that said that his emails were the only reason the school wanted a mental health evaluation. Just reading the emails leads me to believe this kid is mentally unbalanced and possibly dangerous. OP's thread title is a sham.

Re: mandatory mental health evaluation for gun-rights supporters
r u kidding there's a bill in congress to do this for every american. most veterans will be disallowed guns, or at least a good portion of them, if they've ever had PTSD or collapsed in combat or something.
what, you think habeus corpus gets wiped out and they let you keep your guns?

Re: mandatory mental health evaluation for gun-rights supporters
Meh. Surely you agree that a private institution should be able to do whatever the hell they want, and if they want to make the mistake of requiring a student to take a mental health exam for no good reason, then they will suffer their own consequences.
I agree this is probably a ridiculous decision by the school though. But, I don't think there's much more to it than that, and the evidence that our society has grown irrationally fearful of guns.

Re: mandatory mental health evaluation for gun-rights supporters
Speaking of deranged:
A clip from http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/10/11/student.arsenal.ap/index.html: PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pennsylvania (AP) -- A home-schooled teenager who felt bullied amassed a cache of guns, knives and hand grenades and tried to recruit another boy for a possible school attack, authorities said Thursday. The 14-year-old was taken into custody after police searched his bedroom in a Philadelphia suburb on Wednesday evening. He had talked about mounting a Columbine-type attack at Plymouth Whitemarsh High School, authorities said. The weapons included a 9mm assault rifle that the teenager's mother had recently bought for him, Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce L. Castor Jr. said. Prosecutors are reviewing her actions. --------------------------------------------- HIS MOTHER BOUGHT HIM A 9 MM ASSAULT RIFLE??!??!?!??
