JERRY POURNELLE HAS AN EMAIL ON THE ARIZONA SHOOTINGS: “Back in 1971 when I started the shooter would have been put in a mental health institute unless he could be medicated to safely be out under someone’s watchful eye. They changed the laws in the later 70s and 80s to make sure folks like this were not institutionalized.”
