make it easier to involuntarily commit people

Yeah, that won't ever be abused by malicious actors.

It really is easier to just regulate firearms (not take them away, mind you, just actually regulate and enforce said regulations), but politicians are too worried about pissing off the "but muh freedums" crowd.

Nah, involuntary psych hold definitely needs lower standards to help address the mental health crisis.

We've got a plan for most homelessness via housing first plans, but for folks that are homeless because they just can't function for themselves we do genuinely need improved involuntary hold infrastructure.

We also need vastly improved care facility infrastructure for people who are docile but for whatever reasons medically or mentally incapable of surviving on their own and who don't have family capable of providing for them.

You know the system's broken when a common threat to coerce or emotionally attack elders is to put them in an elder care facility.

Regulations which will do what? Prevent people from getting guns.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

From other countries that have regulations: prevent known criminals, known serious mentally ill people, known abusers, from having guns. Enforce gun lockers, and responsible ownership. Enforce education and training.
Most countries still have guns you know. Even just the gun lockers would prevent the us rampant murdering toddlers.
