Anyone for locking up dangerously crazy people?
I agree
We have too many nut jobs on the loose
We also have no way of reporting those who have serious mental issues and should not be armed
Sure we do.
This guy was treated by medical health professionals.
I'm sure they saw the signs, but did not have the authority to lock up the dangerously crazy person.
Because of civil rights lawyers.
We can't just lock up anyone who has mental health issues. Many can control themselves under the correct supervision
But what seems to happen in case after case of mass shootings is that friends and neighbors come out and say....I always knew that kid was crazy, I was afraid of him
And yet, that crazy kid has no problem going to a gun shop and buying an AR-15 with multiple 30 round magazines and a thousand rounds of ammunition and there is nothing to stop him
There has to be a better way
Sure there is.'
Profile the mentally ill so that those who are very likely to hurt themselves or others are locked up, indefinitely until real signs of long term improvement are documented.
That obviously would not be even close to "anyone who has mental health issues".
Do you really want to reduce this problem?
