House Passes Bill Allowing Mentally Ill Veterans To Own Guns

[Straw Man]

16. Let's take a look at this.

Mentally ill, meaning somebody who suffers from a mental health condition that makes them more susceptible to harm themselves or somebody else with a gun.

So not all mentally ill people, then? Can we agree on that? And certainly not people who just need help managing their limited finances.

Or has had a history of mental illness, diagnosed by a mental health professional.

Not by a Veteran's Administration bureaucrat, right? And would you have any problem with the mental health professional's opinion being reviewed by a judge? The last time I checked, we didn't give medical health professionals carte blanche to decide whose rights to restrict.
