[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Compare this thread to the Politics forum. The United States does not care about its children. What horrible culture and country we’ve created for ourselves. Shameful.[/quote]

The U.S. used to follow the other developed nations in providing sufficient in-patient mental health care (including involuntary commitment, where appropriate).

Then, a left-led lobby began a successful, decades-long campaign to 1) shutter all in-patient institutions (see wiki on deinstitutionalization ), and replace that care with essentially:  nothing.

They turned desperately ill (even violent) mental health patients out into our streets.  Daily in DC, you can witness homeless, obviously ill, people yelling at no one, shaking fists, acting aggressive for no reason, etc.  and no one does anything about it.

These same people in need of in-patient care, stab innocent passengers on public transportation, push people in front of trains, steal guns and go on shooting sprees, try to abduct children from local malls, etc.

Bring back in-patient mental hospitals!  That is the real answer here.[/quote]

Taking away guns is far more effective!  A crazy person can't do as much damage with a machete/sword/knife - it's just not possible.[/quote]

No, no it is not.

- not lawful,
- not Constitutional,
- not possible, and 
- not going to happen.  So stop yelling at clouds.

Even were it possible (it’s not) you’d still be left with an the dangerously mentally-ill people.[/quote]

The Constitution was written centuries ago and for another era and a different way of life. There were certainly no 3D printers, automatic weapons or crack and opioids at the time. Surely we have evolved enough to recognize that some amendments are needed?! [/quote]

There were no televisions, phones, internet, electric printing machines, mega churches, microphones/speakers, radios, etc. either.

SO you want to take away all things and go back to the laws and rules of the 1700s?

I mean careful what you wish for with that. :D [/quote]
