On People with Mental Illness Losing Their Constitutional Right to Own a Firearm and Hence Defend Themselves
On a superficial level it does appear reasonable (the fact that a lot of these mass-murderers seem bonkers and you'd have to be a little crazy to kill somebody anyway) but when you examine the stats there doesn't seem to be all that strong of a causal connection between violence and mental illness......but even if there was, does that mean that we dole out constitutional rights based on probabilities? I mean, men engage in much more gun violence than women do (with black fellows engaging in the most). Does that mean that we should only sell firearms to women? I'm just askin'. https://www.nami.org/Blogs/NAMI-Blog/July-2015/Dispelling-Myths-on-Mental-Illness
