Of course they will. People have rights especially to be crazy. Weren’t democrats the ones that emptyed out the asylums back in the sixties/seventies, because people have rights and there were not enough school shootings at the time.
That broad brush will need a wee bit-o-research but I believe that’s the way it all began. I read an article recently and don’t have the reference that there was gun law back in revolutionary times that supposedley kept guns out of the hands of the truly crazy. Who was making the determination of crazy, is another question I don’t think the article answered.
The Left never lets a crisis go to waste:
“....Homeschooling seems to be an easy target for critics of school choice. It always has been. With homeschoolers being by definition outside the education establishment, some people attach a stigma to their choice, suggesting homeschooled children and their families must be somewhat weird. Recent claims about Adam Lanza, perpetrator of the Newtown massacre, are just the latest and perhaps most egregious example.
Calls for more regulation and additional controls over homeschooling curriculum and methods resurface time and again. Thus the recent attacks on homeschoolers are no surprise. But familiarity doesn’t make those attacks any less elitist and misguided.
Opponents of choice criticize homeschooling as failing to socialize children properly. In October in Connecticut, the Sandy Hook Advisory Commission recommended stricter regulation of homeschooled children with emotional and behavioral problems. Their reason: Adam Lanza had been homeschooled. The committee provided no evidence to support its alleged connection between homeschooling and mass murder.
The accusation is obviously ludicrous. One homeschooled individual does not a generalization make; the number of such mass killers educated in public schools refutes this inane assertion.
If Lanza’s education is to blame and therefore the key to ending such tragedies, public schools are the more likely culprit. Lanza graduated with a public school diploma. Although he was taught at home during high school, he attended public schools for most of his education, and he was involved in public school activities while studying at home, according to Dewitt Black, senior counsel of the Home School Legal Defense Association. Lanza was homeschooled as a last resort upon recommendation of his psychologist. The boy’s emotional and behavioral problems led to the decision that he be removed from traditional public and then later Catholic school.
“We think it’s totally unfounded” to blame homeschooling for Lanza’s problems, Black said, noting Lanza could hardly be considered the norm for homeschooled students. “There’s simply no basis that there is a connection between homeschooling and violence in public schools. It’s a misplaced effort to target homeschoolers when there is just no basis to do that.”........
The hysterical criticism in Connecticut is more than “some animosity.” It is an attempt to capitalize on a tragedy in hopes of disguising a shameful power grab......”

“Weren’t democrats the ones that emptyed out the asylums back in the sixties/seventies, because people have rights and there were not enough school shootings at the time.”
If I recall, it was an ALCU case that ended the first year of Reagan’s presidency. The asylums emptied out. They gave patients a bottle of pills, which were doubtlessly thrown away. The new homeless crazies hit the street along with the trailing edge of the free love hippies. Suddenly, you couldn’t go into a bathroom on the ground floor of any public building. The downtown libraries became the new homeless shelters. People were mugged and raped behind shelves. I haven’t been in a public library since then.
