And On That Day, She Should Be Able to Buy a Gun

Brewer is being kept at a state psychiatric hospital until psychiatrists determine she's no longer mentally ill. [More]
Oh, and when will that be? 

Remember, let her out and she'll have access to box cutters, fuel oil, fertilizer, gasoline and matches, all cited as weapons of choice in the country's three highest-toll mass murders.

Some things are broken and cannot be fixed.

That's what makes the entire "prohibited persons" concept such a sick and useless joke. If they're demonstrably violently defective, letting them go about unrestrained in the general population is analogous to setting loose self-guiding bombs that can go off at the slightest jostle.

Anyone who can't be trusted with a gun can't be trusted without a custodian.  That's just the way it is.

Every Good Boy Deserves Favor re the Soviet 'psychiatric' hospitals by Tom Stoppard. It's a loophole the libs are trying to expand indeed.
