Agreed. I think there needs to be a serious discussion about re-establishing institutions, because it's becoming clear that there are a lot of people out there who are so sick that they really should not be allowed out in society without treatment.

And I say this as someone with a mental illness myself.

Gun Control Anon (just declaring my bias)

I... have absolutely no idea how people can argue that re-establishing institutions, and I infer from your comment increasing involuntary confinement for people with mental health issues in those institutions, is somehow less of a breach of a person's fundamental rights and the better option for stopping mass shootings (despite the fact that there is no evidence that this would actually stop gun related violence) than... say... stricter gun control? Which by the way, has been proved to reduce and prevent gun-related violence?

I say this as someone who has a mental illness and who has no problem with being prevented from owning a gun on the basis of that mental illness.

Because it is an issue that extends beyond guns. Not too long ago, one of the state senators here in the US was stabbed multiple times and nearly killed by his severely schizophrenic son, who then killed himself. He knew his son was dangerous and potentially violent and had been trying to get him committed but was unable to do so. Now he's an outspoken advocate for mental health reform.

We had another incident a couple of months ago where a teenager (most likely also mentally ill) went on a stabbing spree in a school. People like that are dangerous with or without guns and there need to be ways to keep them from hurting themselves or anyone else. If that means putting them in a supervised facility with people who monitor them and make sure they take their medications (because a huge problem with people who are bipolar or schizophrenic is that they will stop taking their medication if they feel better), then so be it.
