I noticed your post earlier. Is there really a chance something like that could be brought back though?
I don't know. Some of it would depend on the laws of each state. I haven't researched the issue but I think most of the movement to close mental hospitals, etc., were state, not federal initiatives.
As an aside, it should probably be noted it is alleged that our friends at the ACLU recently
killed a Connecticut forcible institutionalization law that might have prevented these killings.
Then there's this:
Indiana man with 47 guns arrested after school threat: A northern Indiana man who allegedly threatened to "kill as many people as he could" at an elementary school near his home was arrested by officers who later found 47 guns and ammunition hidden throughout his home.
I wonder if the media creates some of this by exploiting these tragedies for ratings and/or a particular agenda. I suspect that the incessant coverage creates copycats.
