"Starting in the 1970s, advocates for closing mental hospitals argued that because of the availability of new psychotropic drugs, people with mental illness could live among the rest of the population in an unrestrained natural setting. According to a 2013 Wall Street Journal article by Dr. E. Fuller Torrey, founder of the Treatment Advocacy Center, titled "Fifty Years of Failing America's Mentally Ill," shutting down mental hospitals didn't turn out the way advocates promised. Several studies summarized by the Treatment Advocacy Center show that untreated mentally ill are responsible for 10 percent of homicides (and a higher percentage of the mass k*****gs). They are 20 percent of jail and prison inmates and more than 30 percent of the homeless."
This situation has enabled anti-gun proponents more than anything else to continue to energize their "gun control" rhetoric and policies. Liberals do not care that their "kindness" and "fairness" policies may hurt the majority of the American people, (as long as they assert "control" over the masses, they're satisfied.
Very well said - thank you.
