PC Gone Overboard - For Real

[PornoDoggy]

Some states have already made the change to guilty by reason of insanity.

In spite of the bleating of some politicians and their followers, even before John Hinkley the insanity defense was seldom successful. The chances that it will succeed today is even more remote. The idea that hordes of criminals are using this defense to be sent to some sort of "country club" works well as a line for sleazy politicians to get votes from morons, but it's just not the case.

BTW ... criminally insane prisons? You are kidding me, right? There is not a state in the Union that has anything remotley close to an adequte number of beds for patients with mental problems, let alone prisoners with mental problems. There is not a state in the Union that provides anything remotely cose to adequate mental health care to prisoners diagnosed with mental health problems.

I think the idea that someone who has been treated for depression once will be denied the right to purchase a gun is just typical gun manufacturer hystrionics. I'm sure that's something that will be left up to the states - which means, based on the number of state legislators owned by the NRA, whatever they come up with will be terribly inadequate.
