OK, so the healthcare professionals could testify. I still see no reason why a severely mentally ill person should be allowed to buy a firearm.

Yes, I do really believe that. I said restricting gun rights is a small issue compared to the amount of people dead from gun violence. I do not agree with stop-and-frisk. I also don't think people with severe mental illnesses should have access to guns.

Gun rights aren't the same as typical human and American rights. It's a right to a weapon. That is completely different than normal American rights.

There would be less gun violence if we had slightly more restrictions. It's been proven. At this point, it's a debate between our rights to bear arms and safety. Putting some more restrictions on buying arms doesn't make the US a country void of rights. It means that there's more restrictions of buying firearms.
