We could change it so you need more kills to count as a mass shooting, that would help.

Mass shooting are great for the economy. Tons of commercial slots sell for the networks, guns and ammo fly off the self and new sites get tons of clicks. America is a land of money before people. You should know this.

>>61055034
Yes, we've done the root cause analysis.
No, its not the fault of inanimate objects or their availability.
To suggest so is short-sighted and insulting, at best.
Evidently we're not allowed to hurt the feelings of the mentally ill / parent / guardian by suggesting that they seek help or be detained if they make terroristic threats against themselves or others.
Or we could blame video games?

you know how people like to take parts of amendments out of context to make it fit their agenda? I like this one:

>>
>>61058165
>forced admittance of mental people

If you're such a champion of liberty you shouldn't be in favor of that. Might I remind you that you can be labeled mentally ill as a means of silencing dissent... which was actually done in the Soviet Union. What if your people decided being liberal was a mental illness and you had the legal right to lock us all up. So much for America being a land of the free.

And even if a person is truly mentally ill, where do you draw the line between who is enough of a risk to be locked up and who isn't. How do you treat them? How long should they stay confined?

You can't just lock people up and throw away the key. The focus should be on rehabilitating people which is something Republicans have never had interest in. If some autist threatens to shoot up his school he shouldn't be locked in a mental institution for life but instead should be put into a secure facility and evaluated then should have regular meeting with a therapist to try to work out the life problems make strides at solving them. The families should be involved too.

We also need preventative mental health care. Normal people should see a therapist. It should be covered under every insurance plan. If you are mentally stable you see your therapist once or twice a year like getting a physical from a doctor. If the stress increases in your life you follow up and get additional treatment as required and potentially referral to a psychiatrist for meds if you need them.

Let's hear your plan to deal with the mentally ill instead of just attacking me.
>>
>>61058822
you can start by not attacking the family so troubled kids actually have parents who know what they are doing.

and you are horribly conflating mental illness with behavior problems so it's very difficult to answer your question. Mentally ill people should be institutionalized unless they have a caretaker.
>>
>>61058982
>Mentally ill people should be institutionalized unless they have a caretaker.

That wouldn't have prevented Sandy Hook. In that case the autist did have a caretaker. His batshit crazy gun-nut of a mother who enabled that behavior and never even considered that guns might be having a negative influence on her AUTISTIC child. There's a case that regular therapy and medication could have likely prevented.

And consider the following. Most mass shootings aren't committed by severally mentally ill people like schizophrenics but rather by depressed normies, high function autists, and other people of a similar nature. They may have very good families but they are insecure about some failing in their life and take it out on other people. These people need help, not prison. We need to help them overcome and move on from what is dragging them down. They need a safe outlet to vent and and a third party who can provide objectivity and suggest ways to cope with problems, that's what therapy provides. As great as having a good family is families often aren't very objective about how to handle problems, especially when parents have very strong feelings on the problem or the solution to it that may conflict with the child's. In most cases you probably will not need any medication. You just need someone objective who you can talk to.

This isn't a one dimensional issue. The solution is a lot more complex than just institutionalizing all mentally ill people who have no caretaker.

I can literally take a pipe and put a shotgun shell in it and make a gun out of it.
You can't take guns from people that want them.

No. But you can just kill all the people who want guns and solve your problem that way.
