Same reason for criminalizing homelessness; “justification” for rounding up autistic people and putting us into labor camps.
They do this anyway with immigrants, native peoples, and black USians but theyve been looking to expand that dragnet even further to all disabled people as well.
See also: targeting trans folks, putting critics in prison for 100+ years over having a box of old zines in their home. The out-group will always get bigger.
Also, it's theater to pretend like they care about mental health so they don't have to do anything about mass shootings.
But mostly what you said- it's incredibly dehumanizing, which suits their grand project of having targets to blame for their incompetence.
