are mentally ill killers justified?

Answer 1

Not justified!
But understandable,how strange that may sound.And as such mabye preventable!
People can have a illness that later lifts and they are hit hard by their own insight over what they have done while all senses and reality values is in chaos and pain.
If a insane struck person commit whatever in his psychosis but the prognosis and development clears and he are 'back' it would be cruel to punish.
The motive for that are revenge since it may not needed to keep him/her(yes women too) out of circulation.
Anyone believing such a individual should be punished should consider that this CAN and WILL happened to anyone,anytime!
As you in the US use death as punishment just set your own standard of raw on your chosen level.
To have revenge feelings out of the public be basis of such matters are also a setting of standard,the standard of justice and compassion.
The victims/survives would be better of healing not causing further pain to anyone.The deed is passed,wont disappear and perhaps in the time of the event pain shouts for compensation as revenge that feels right.
But in time no one wants more of shame and pain,i do not think a
any real closure comes out of more inhumanity.
But here its a sensitive subject since the victims HAVE to justify it over and over after if revenge is granted by jusice and courts.
No closure.
To SOLVE a conflict isn't to win or lose necessary,or even rarely.

But justified??

NO!

Answer 2

This is where the debate gets complicated because we are dealing civil liberties issues. Despite what the NRA and other groups say, nothing that has been proposed by the Obama administration violates the second amendment. However if we are going to have background checks, then that system must include people who have been deemed mentally unfit to own a gun. It requires coordination between mental health professionals and the states to keep such a database updated. There are privacy issues that need to be dealt with along with concerns regarding doctor/patient confidentiality. There also needs to be a mechanism for correcting misinformation. We saw that problem with the no-fly list. People were on it that shouldn't have been but they couldn't get themselves removed. Then, of course, there is the problem of people with psychological issues being undiagnosed. They haven't seen a mental health professional so they can't be in the database. This part of the background check law will be the most difficult to create.
