We have LAIs to make it as easy as possible ... One shot a month ... They still don't or won't take it.

Yeah, count me in with him. We have entirely too many mentally deficient criminals running around loose in this country. pretty damned ironic that dickheads like you want to violate the rights of everyone wrt to guns, in order to DO SOMETHING! about innocents being slaughtered, but you are a big government bastard if you want the crazies institutionalized.

Check.

Link?
Why would I want to violate my own rights and have the state coming after me?
Just because I don't want the government to strip more and more liberties away from people doesn't make me a communist.
Maybe the families of the mentally challenged should do more to help instead of asking the government to interfere.

Their families don't want them just like the rest of us. They're street shitting drug addicts. They'll just steal from their families & go buy drugs at the local tent city. At least in a facility, they won't be terrorizing the rest of society.

It's the self-appointed 'small government' people that have turned us from the Land of the Free into the Land of the Incarcerated
What you can't understand is that millions of people are rotten beings. That rot far exceeds the prison capacity of today.

And that may be the ONLY thing that doesn’t make you a marxist/communist. I’ve been around here a minute. Seen plenty of your posts.

Democrats were the ones who pushed for 'deinstitutionalization.' I remember it well. The right warned of unintended consequences. They happened.
Yep. And history doesn't always repeat, but does rhyme.

Than all my other posts would reveal me as a communist.
Can you please link two of them?
Thanks in advance.

Psych patients cause a big drain on ER resources as well.
Not only this but criminals have figured out how to game the system to avoid jail and law enforcement enables it.
They send knuckleheads to the ER and the first mention of self harm when they need to be in jail.

That's not all to blame him for. He was a CIA asset during the culture war in the 60s.

Mental Health Problems? I prefer to call it demonic possession coupled with unrealized expectations. When you strip the culture of moral absolutes, even going so far as to slaughter babies seconds from being born expect mayhem, widespread lawlessness, and a whole bunch of confused, angry people.
It's that simple.
