Actually, yes, we SHOULD care about mentally ill people (some of whom are right here on this here BBS) having their human and civil rights taken away. There was, in fact, an entire supreme court decision, Buck v. Bell, that already fucking did that. Hundreds of thousands of women (esp. WOC, working class women, or just plain unruly women) had their civil rights stripped from them because someone decided that they were “mentally unfit”. It’s a real fucking thing that has and can happen again.
I just don’t think that carrying weapons of war should be elevated to a human right to the same degree that things one’s bodily autonomy.
