The answer to vengeful, violent people is not more mental health screening or more potent mental health interventions. Reliance on the whole range of this system from counseling to involuntary treatment failed. There is not a shred of scientific evidence that locking people up against their will or otherwise "treating" them reduces violence.***

Mental health interventions do not protect society because the person is almost always quickly discharged because***mental health professionals, who as a group have no particular capacity to make such determinations, will decide that the patient is no longer a danger to himself or others. Indeed, in December 2005, when the university obtained a temporary detention order against Cho, a magistrate referred him for a mental health evaluation that found "his insight and judgment are normal." Need I say more about the hazards of relying on mental health screening and evaluation to identify dangerous perpetrators--even after they have already been threatening people?

***Coerced treatment is not perceived or experienced as "helpful" by the recipient but as unjust bullying.***

And what about drugs for the treatment of violence? The FDA has not approved any medications for the control of violence because there are no such medications.***and forced drugging then breeds more resentment.

guns dont kill people. people kill people.

and an armed society is a polite society
