Not sure if this is a good reference or not: http://www.snopes.com/social-security-re...ning-guns/
Repealing it was still a mistake. It should have been re-written with more specific details of what qualifies for reporting.
And this gun guy is still in favor of stricter gun control.
Ok, so based on the Snopes article and a little casual web searching I did myself, the disorder most often that falls into the category of 'severe mental illness' is long-term schizophrenia. Some of the more common symptoms are: hallucinations, false perceptions of reality, paranoia, bizarre behaviours, delusions, depressions, anxiety, anger/rage, and sudden, uncontrollable shifts in mood.
Yup. These are the people you want packing a Glock.

I didn't see anywhere in what I have read that "sever mental illness" is mentioned or defined in the rule/regulation.
Again, repealing was a mistake. A rewrite should have been done.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
