Before the Santa Barbara incident, Tim Murphy (PA-R), a psychologist, has been working on a reform bill which might help find and treat those with dangerous mental issues instead of the all the noise we hear about gun control. Both parties support this bill.

BUT, Nancy Pelosi is doing all she can to kill it and telling Democrats to withdraw their support.

It appears since it is an election year, she doesn't want the Republicans to have even a single example of bipartisan success - even on something as serious and important as this.

From what I've read about the bill it sound like it will give families a lot more influence in deciding to involuntarily hospitalize some one.

In recent years we've had two local cases where mentally ill people committed brutal murders (Horror movie stuff) immediately after their own families had unsuccessfully tried to have them involuntarily hospitalized. Neither used a gun BTW.
