According to Appelbaum,25 less than 3% to 5% of US crimes involve people with mental illness, and the percentages of crimes that involve guns are lower than the national average for persons not diagnosed with mental illness. Databases that track gun homicides, such as the National Center for Health Statistics, similarly show that fewer than 5% of the 120 000 gun-related killings in the United States between 2001 and 2010 were perpetrated by people diagnosed with mental illness.
Mental Illness, Mass Shootings, and the Politics of American Firearms
Here's the deal with mental illness. Practically anything can labeled a mental disorder. Oppositional defiant disorder is diagnosed for people that don't obey authority. In fact you could say if you don't trust the government you suffer from that. Adding to that if you think the government would take your guns away if your are mentally, you might be diagnossed with paranoia and Oppositional defiant disorder, which results in them taking your guns away.

Then there is Orthorexia nervosa which means being obsessed with eating healthy. You don't like GMO, and prefer organic, well fuck you, you are cutting in to Monsanto's profits, so you also lose your guns.
Then we have S.A.D.S, sudden adult down syndrome, which most Americans have after watching MSNBC, so they willing give up their guns haha

yeah, if the qualification to own a gun means you are free from mental disorder, since everything is a mental disorder means no one will be able to own guns.

I wholly support your right to be denied access to firearms.

Sounds like an authoritarian point of view to me.

Actually no one has to get passed the bill of rights to deny someone access to firearms. I'm not sure why people think that?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

They have conned themselves into thinking that a "well-regulated militia" means every shithead with a gun.
Meanwhile, here you go 'Murrica. Enjoy your guns.
