Sad, but this sums it up.  We have gun crisis and a mental health crisis.[/quote]

We can and should bring back mental institutions.

There is obviously a huge need for them.[/quote]

Even if we had institutions, very few of these shooters would end up in them BEFORE they decided to shoot people.  Severely mentally I’ll people are mostly NOT violent.  [/quote]

100% of random mass shootings happened after deinstitutionalization in the U.S.[/quote]

This is not true.  Stop making nonsense up.  The University of Texas tower shooting was in 1966:  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Texas_tower_shooting[/quote]

What is true is that mass shootings are practically an everyday occurrence these days.  Prior to deinstitutionalization, they were much more rare.

There will always be mentally unstable, violent people - they have existed since the beginning of time.  Bringing back mental institutions might help some, but people cannot be forced to accept treatment - witness the large numbers of mentally ill homeless who refuse shelter and treatment.  The very least we can do is keep guns out of their hands.  [/quote]

For the severely mentally ill, homeless people, your answer is:

- oh well.  ??

There is a desperate need to bring back a humane form of institutional care.[/quote]

I agree completely - but would these people be compelled to enter institutional care?  How?  Involuntary commitment is not a simple thing.[/quote]
