...you would be wrong. Mentally sound people are 4 out of 10 of our gun death trigger-men. The unsound ones, the other 6 out of 10, shoot themselves, statistically. The crazy angle is a giant red herring to keep people bickering and swinging the arm on the political slot machine by fixating on a group that people feel comfortable marginalizing, that people are already wary of. People shoot people because they're angry, not because they're crazy....that's what we find when we investigate. I'm sure their lawyers would beg to differ......but meh.
The kicker to all of this, if they convince us there's a "crazy with a gun" problem..is that they don;t actually have to do anything to fix it. The laws already exist. They can profit until that day...and on that day, claim a victory by pointing to laws which are re-written versions of existing laws....and the absolute dearth of "crazy with a gun" in our gun death stats which is now -and has always been- the case.
Much ado about nothing.
Oh, pleeeeeze! Can anyone with a fair and logical mind really discuss legal mental soundness, by 'Murrica law with a straight face?
Mr. Hanky loves you!
