I'm reminded of the lyrics of that song about Star Trek.... "We come in peace, shoot to kill, shoot to kill"
This stuff about blaming persons with mental health problems and not the overabundance of guns, particularly military assault weapons, semi automatic weapons etc and totally innefective gun control laws is a bit disingenuous imho.
I think you will find that your person suffering from depression etc in the USA is far more likely, if they use a gun, to use it to commit suicide rather than go on a shooting rampage. There is some evidence suggesting that persons with a history of domestic violence/abuse are much more likely to go on a shooting rampage than persons suffering from depression.

Whilst it is an issue ( people who suffer mental illnesses having guns ) it's being used, imho, as a distraction, a deflection by the gun industry to avoid losing a lot of money.

The way the gun industry in the USA cynically and untruthfully manipulates this "policy debate" is really deserving of scathing contempt.

Does being religious count as being mentally ill?

Just asking. I need to know whether this new legislation would prevent jihadis from arming themselves at Wal-mart checkouts.

Anyone who decides to go on a shooting rampage is mentally ill by definition, surely?
