Given that the NRA leadership has recently exhibited signs of mental illness, including paranoid delusions, a persecution complex, and the claim that a divine voice guides their actions, and given that the NRA leadership has recently exhibited the warning signs of imminent violence among the mentally ill, including a history of violent rhetoric, increased activity obtaining the means to violence, and a recent stressor that has increased their sense of persecution, we petition that President Obama follow the advice of the NRA leadership regarding mental illness and gun violence and issue an executive order to have the leadership of the NRA examined by a qualified profession as a potential threat of violence due to mental illness.
