How about we start taking mental illness seriously?
Sheesh, the guy said he wanted to shoot up his guard barracks, isn’t that a Red Flag?
Allegedly they got him locked up for mental illness for 2 weeks recently. Sounds like the government’s system for red flagging and gun rights suspension isn’t working very well. There needs to both be enough timely due process to protect the large majority’s rights to guns and self defense, but there also needs to be enough timely due processing of those who are mentally ill to protect the innocent (which might even be themselves.) Given the current mental illness prevalence significant infrastructure changes are needed, including enough legal infrastructure to provide ‘outs’ for those who don’t really need mandated care or supervision but are somehow fall under its evaluation.
