Ann Coulter has a Townhall column that deals with the subject of my post of a couple of days ago, concerning the Navy Yard shooter and his ilk. As usual, she does a better job of saying what I said, which is why she makes a living writing columns (and I don't need to, thank heaven).
Her research, as always, is impeccable. She documents about a dozen different examples of crazies killing people since the mental institutions closed down in the 1970s, several of them didn't even use guns.
Humorous side note: the Camarillo State Hospital she mentions was also closed. It is now the campus of California State University, Channel Islands.
I hope its students have enough sense of humor to pick as their mascot the loon. Nah, that is much too politically incorrect, too stigmatizing.
Coulter makes the point that what is needed is involuntary commitment of paranoid schizophrenics, not banning guns in the hands of sane, law-abiding citizens. COTTonLINE agrees.
