Many wonder whether Jared Loughner should be punished or not because of his mental illness. According to my beliefs, I think that he should be punished but not with money or just several years in prison. I believe that he should be confined to house arrest or maximum security prison until the time is right for him to come back out again. The only reason I think this is because he is mentally ill. Sometimes, mentally ill people cannot control themselves unless they take some certain drugs or receive treatment. He should be monitored and be isolated from the rest of the world to prevent any further injuries to anymore innocent people.
I think that this incident might not have happened if only the gun wasn't sold to Loughner and part of the fault was the gun dealer. I wondered how he even managed to buy a gun legally. Because of this case, I think that gun laws should be more strict. It was as if the gun dealer plainly handed the gun to him in the exchange for money and a signature on papers to register the gun. I think that the dealer should have at least looked at his past criminal record and health record to check if something was at least wrong with the person. I'll bet if the person that saw Loughner's medical record, he would have refused to sell the weapon to him. I guess that is what happens when you make a mistake.
I hope that congresswoman is able to function properly after her recovery.
