Not Guilty of Making an illegal Firearm by Mental Defect?

Veterans Treatment Court

I had not even heard of this till today. They need to step very carefully with this as the potential for abuse is awful; however I can't fault the idea as it seems an apt solution in cases... just like this one.

The upside seems tremendous.

Isn't this what everybody wanted, for the man to get treatment? Not a suggestion to get treatment, but ordered to get it?

I don't know what the recidivism rate is but I wish him luck with his issues. Since his problems appears chronic he will need it.
 
The fact that the guy was going to commit suicide is important.

He needs psychiatric help.

If putting him in jail for a year or two saves his life because he gets treatment,I say jail him.

Otherwise he could go off and kill your family.

Think of this guy as already dead and you'll understand that everyday he's lived after the attempt is a good one-in jail or not.

He needs help and he should be forced to get it.

There is no freedom in killing yourself or someone else God forbid because you were messed up in the head.
