I am an long-time NRA member. I support the NRA. I also support forced medicating of the severely mentally ill. I am also mentally ill myself, see a psychiatrist, take medications voluntarily. I have never been involuntarily committed nor have I ever had to deal with being force medicated. But I support the idea in severe cases of psychosis and bipolar and severe mood disorders.
Target shooting, hunting and reloading ammunition are very therapeutic for mental illness, btw. I am deer hunting as I type this. It has helped me greatly. If I heard voices or was involuntarily committed, I'd turn in my guns keeping my own safety in mind and give up my hobby. Until then, I will keep on keepin on.
Tell you another thing. Getting outdoors and doing some target shooting, doing some hunting or doing some reloading is a lot healthier and a lot better than sitting on your butt, posting endless drivel on mental illness forums.
Even if you are not 100% and most of you are not, forcing yourself to get off your duff, getting some exercise and doing something, doing ANYTHING, will help you. Posting on the Internet all day wont help your mental illness at all.
