That is an uninformed opinion..
Deinstitutionalization as a policy for state hospitals began in the period of the civil rights movement when many groups were being incorporated into mainstream society. Three forces drove the movement of people with severe mental illness from hospitals into the community: the belief that mental hospitals were cruel and inhumane; the hope that new antipsychotic medications offered a cure; and the desire to save money.
As patients were being discharged into the community, a series of legal decisions also had an impact on whether one could be readmitted or stay in a hospital setting.
In Lake v. Cameron, a 1966 D.C. Court of Appeals case, the concept of “least restrictive setting” was introduced, requiring hospitals to discharge patients to an environment less restrictive than a hospital if at all possible.
In the 1975 case of O’Connor v. Donaldson, the U.S. Supreme Court declared that a person had to be a danger to him- or herself or to others for confinement to be constitutional.
The 1999 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Olmstead v. L.C. stated that mental illness was a disability and covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act. All governmental agencies, not just the state hospitals, were be required thereafter to make “reasonable accommodations” to move people with mental illness into community-based treatment to end unnecessary institutionalization.
These court decisions have certainly limited the ability of state facilities to confine people in hospitals against their will and created conflict between laws that are intended to preserve liberty and prevent wrongful hospitalization, on the one hand, and the need to identify and treat people early in their diseases, on the other.
Both the liberal courts and progressive ideology is to blame for the mentally ill roaming the streets and becoming potential mass killers.
There is no such thing as an "assault weapon." This language was invented to demonize guns {nm} Mar 20, 21:25
good. it's working Mar 21, 00:09
The language I saw banned military-style semiautomatic weapons? Is that a real thing? {nm} Mar 21, 03:37
How about "weapon made to kill multiple human beings on a battlefield". {nm} Mar 21, 08:04
All guns are designed to kill. What's your point? {nm} Mar 21, 09:27
Supreme Court has ruled that right is not unlimited. Also, Amendments can and have been changed in the past. {nm} Mar 21, 09:46
Because other nations in the world that ban assault weapons do not have nutcases that massacre its citizens regularly. {nm} Mar 21, 09:56
Probably because they remove the nutcases from society rather than let them roam the streets like we do {nm} Mar 21, 09:58
Wrong. Again, the only difference in the equation is "assault rweapons". {nm} Mar 21, 10:04
Actually, absence of assault weapon... Hard to kill 50 people in 10 minutes with a knife... {nm} Mar 21, 14:18
In the case of murder by knife, would you blame the knife and call for knife control? {nm} Mar 21, 14:23
I'm happy they are designed to kill... Mar 21, 09:56
No, thank the conservatives for taking funding away from social services that would have housed the mentally ill. {nm} Mar 21, 09:58
That is an uninformed opinion.. Mar 21, 10:10
Anyone who commits mass murder is mentally ill. Your argument is invalid. {nm} Mar 21, 10:44
The point is they are regular people like you with no signs of mental illness, until the shooting starts. {nm} Mar 21, 10:47
The AR-15 everyone hates is not made by the military. More... Mar 21, 11:03
You don’t seem very concerned about the constitutional rights of the people who would be institutionalize under your proposal. Mar 21, 10:58
*cant restrict {nm} Mar 21, 11:17
I agree with all of that (except the home interview) and more, as long as it is focused on the individual. {nm} Mar 21, 11:43
What kind of "legitimate use" can you find to a gun designed to shoot 500 rounds/minute??? Mar 21, 12:04
That's just a hyperbolic argument. If you are referring to the vilified AR-15 rifle... Mar 21, 12:34
Like I said, no need to bring NRA usual lines to justify... Mar 21, 13:55
Our constitution was designed so that citizens can have weapons to.... Mar 21, 11:33
The constitution also referred to slaves as three-fifths of a whole person. {nm} Mar 21, 12:04
and the weapons in the civil war helped put that in balance that, huh. {nm} Mar 21, 12:41
Or nearly a million Americans would not have died needlessly if guns were not around. {nm} Mar 21, 12:53
Many nations ended slavery without going through a civil war. {nm} Mar 21, 13:03
and actually ended it {nm} Mar 21, 13:07
apples and oranges. If many nations had the ability to uprise against their corrupt governments Mar 21, 12:46
Fairy Tale. {nm} Mar 21, 12:41
