Wouldn't it be better to place the mentally ill in hospitals specifically-designed to contain and treat them for their mental illness? Wouldn't the clientele of several of those specifically-designed hospitals house many of those now trying to destroy the constitution?

It would be cheaper, and more better, if they just got shot by their intended victims.

We have enormous issues here of liberty and more government power is NOT the solution be it asylums or JUST more cops. More cops is a good idea, more good guys with guns. However, that needs to be coupled with the individual freedom and liberty to keep and bear arms. If you are gay, female, live in a bad neighborhood, are worried that your next door neighbor is a kook who might burn his own house down to kill firemen, exercising ones right to keep and bear arms is the larger issue.

No good guy who is murdered because his government refuses him his inalienable right can be addressed by more government the next time.

Further, do we really want a return to the One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest or Kennedy family lobotomy era where it was easier to just abuse power and lock folks up who may be a bit kooky but, not dangerous?

Yes, but if we do that, Congress will be out of session until we can elect some new people.
