Do we even have mental health facilities anymore where the mentally ill can be placed?
Oh, that would be so unfair! /s
Facilities are closing all over the US and commitment is becoming more and more difficult every day.

Actually, yes - 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Do we have facilities? All you need is a backhoe and a bulldozer and you can dispose of thousands of “bitter clingers” a day...
Sure there are mental health facilities. The burden beyond self committal is so onerous that a you have to be both crazy and retarded to be committed.
I guess they ask the question is he/she a danger to himself or society. If the joker in Colorado didn’t meet the requirement who does?
I guess you have to have to crap in one hand then while eating it shoot a weapon at a politician with the other.

Interesting that you mention this.
Only about a mile and a half from the elementary school in Sandy Hook is the now-closed Connecticut State Psychiatric hospital.
Years ago, if someone was having mental problems, they’d get sent off “to Newtown”. I had an aunt that spent a little time there (she came out of it).
Just empty buildings now, fenced off...
