Panel On Mentally Ill Gun Access Releases Report

ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Gun should be taken away from anyone who is found by a licensed health care provider, educator or police to be a threat, a panel studying firearms access by the mentally ill recommended Wednesday.

The report is being made public just as Maryland lawmakers are expected to take up gun control proposals in a legislative session that begins next week.

Gov. Martin O'Malley and lawmakers have been discussing plans for measures to address gun violence in the aftermath of the massacre last month at a Connecticut elementary school. The Task Force to Study Access of Mentally Ill Individuals to Regulated Firearms, however, was created last year and first met in August.

People who are mentally ill should NOT be allowed guns. Most mental illness causes irrational & impulsive thought & behavior. Last thing they need is a gun.

Half of the police forces will lose their jobs then.

Obama orchestrated the Massacre of these kids to invoke weapon confiscation as Hitler did. If it does not come fast enough he will make sure we have other School Shootings to get emotions up.

Great the major problem over the years is trying to getting those who are a threat into treatment, hospitialized or court ordered treatment. I guess this law is better than nothing but I feel this is a minute factor. There is still the elephant in the room which needs to be reconized. Why do we have to wait until after the violent act...like the woman who pushed that man in front of the subway train, before they are forced into treatment?

I agree 12:53. Between laws governing involuntary commitiment and the practice of "deinstitutionalization" (another failed liberal policy) many unstable people are amoung us.
I also agree with 12:05. There is no other explanation other than omalley himself isn't playing with a full deck. And who are these "brain trusts" who came up with the conclusion that those who are a threat shouldn't have firearms? Whomever came up with this profound statement is an absolute moron. Of course they shouldn't nor should they have access to any type of weapon and should be institutionalized if they are a threat.
