I feel like psychological pre-interventions are more important here, as a gun is a tool to an end. It is good that there's protection possibly along that line.

It is good that there's protection possibly along that line. I just wish that there was expanded access to psychedelically-based therapy + integration therapy for veterans/survivors of simple/repeated PTSD.
- NoImmatureAdHom 6y agoIn comparison to regular psychiatric treatments for PTSD, the MDMA Phase II results from MAPS's trial make MDMA look like a magic bullet. I sincerely, vehemently hope that it all works out.
- mgarfias 6y agoA friend of mine served with a top tier SoF unit, and came back with some psyche issues. Currently he’s a civilian contractor with the army. If he tries any kind of help from outside the VA, he’ll lose his clearance, his job, and his retirement. So he’s there not getting effective treatment trying to hang on. Complete bullshit.
