You are crack head.
Can you show me where in the US Constitution that it says we cannot declare someone mentally ill and restrict them? Because I'm pretty freaking sure that the local police can put a 48 hour psychiatric hold on people and lock them up without so much as a trial and I know people can be declared mentally insane.
We have the right to bear arms, it's in the Constitution, but yet there are lots and lots of restrictions on that? Felons, for example, cannot own firearms. Why can we not expand that to people who have mental health issues or anger issues?
