Getting mentally ill people committed and keeping them there costs money. It is much cheaper (imo) to simply get the 2nd Amendment to mean what it plainly says - no government can tell you (short of due process [i.e. a trial jury]) that you can’t bear arms.

Everything costs money , it depends how and where you want to spend it. I would have spent a fortune to keep the shooter hospitalized if it would have prevented the trouble and dark cloud over VT today. However , there were signs this kid was sick. Everybody saw if they would have committed him maybe just maybe lives could have been saved. It is redundant now for it is past and we cannot change the past. But if one commitment saves someone in the future, I would be glad to see my tax dollars go where it counts instead of things like peanut storage.It is very sad we even have to discuss this matter at all, but if we don't we will never get answers and we have to ,because it may happen again. When the Texas tower occurred people thought it would never happen again. When Columbine happened , it was said this will never happen again, if we do not learn from history we are doomed to repeat it.
