Here's what I like about this nonsense...... You go see your doctor, and he/she asks you (because they are supposed to) "do you have any guns in your house." The question is extremely annoying, and it gets your hackles up. You answer back with a defiant answer, and you question the doctor's authority to intrude into your 2nd Amendment rights that way. You are setting yourself up for a diagnosis of "oppositional defiant disorder", and now your RKBA is actually being threatened.....Is nonconformity and freethinking a mental illness? According to the newest addition of the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), it certainly is. The manual identifies a new mental illness called “oppositional defiant disorder” or ODD. Defined as an “ongoing pattern of disobedient, hostile and defiant behavior,” symptoms include questioning authority, negativity, defiance, argumentativeness, and being easily annoyed.

All of this is a symptom of our over-diagnosing and overmedicating culture. In the last 50 years, the DSM-IV has gone from 130 to 357 mental illnesses.

According to the DSM-IV, the diagnosis guidelines for identifying oppositional defiant disorder are for children, but adults can just as easily suffer from the disease. This should give any freethinking American reason for worry. The Soviet Union used new “mental illnesses” for political repression. People who didn’t accept the beliefs of the Communist Party developed a new type of schizophrenia.
