Excerpt —
A Veterans Affairs psychiatrist allegedly told an online user to “off yourself” over a stance on gun control in a Facebook comment thread, according to an image shared online.
A photo posted to Imgur on Monday night shows one user expressing a pro-gun stance in a Facebook comment thread.
“I am all for gun control,” the user wrote. “If there is a gun in the room, I want to be in control of it.”
Gregg Gorton, whose Facebook profile identifies him as a staff psychiatrist at the Philadelphia Veterans Medical Center, replied: “Off yourself, please.”
The Veterans Affairs website does list Dr. Gorton as a mental and behavior health physician at the Philadelphia VA Medical Center. The website was last updated May 2013.
