Open Letter to South Carolina Voters, GayPatriot Readers and GOProud Members
Via Gay Patriot It is with mixed feelings that I announce my resignation this morning from the gay conservative group GOProud that I helped found in 2009. I was recently elected Vice Chairman of the organization in order to concentrate on expanding GOProud’s chapters and grassroots strength nationwide. Last week, speculation grew in South Carolina and on social media outlets about my interest in challenging incumbent US Senator Lindsey Graham who has been in Congress for 18 years. In the spirit of transparency and honesty, I informed my fellow GOProud board members that I could not dedicate the time to the organization while I seriously considered the effort it will take to challenge Senator Graham in the 2014 Primary. I felt it best to resign from GOProud in advance of the [...]

Are the Mentally Ill Violent? Should they be allowed to Own a Gun?
"Research supports the view the mentally ill are more often victims than perpetrators of violence." Even so Senators seek to keep guns away from mentally ill This paper evaluates the relationship of mental illness and violence by asking three questions: Are the mentally ill violent? Are the mentally ill at increased risk of violence? Are the public at risk? Mental disorders are neither necessary nor sufficient causes of violence. Major determinants of violence continue to be socio-demographic and economic factors. Substance abuse is a major determinant of violence and this is true whether it occurs in the context of a concurrent mental illness or not. Therefore, early identification and treatment of substance abuse problems, and greater attention to the diagnosis and management of [...]
Senators seek to keep guns away from mentally ill
Senators seek to keep guns away from mentally ill Columbia, SC - February 20, 2013 - Senators Chip Campsen (R-Charleston), Greg Gregory (R-Lancaster), John Courson (R-Richland) and others today filed a bill that will require South Carolina to comply with the NICS database for background checks for the mentally ill with gun purchases. The bill, S.413, would require judges to submit to SLED the names of people adjudicated to be mentally ill and unsafe to own a gun. SLED, in turn, will transmit those names to the national database. When a person purchases a gun, their name can be submitted to the Federal NICS database to verify that the purchaser has not been deemed mentally ill by the South Carolina judicial system. Currently, the state does not largely participate in the database, but [...]
