Okay, I’m of two minds here, 'cause dude’s obviously correct here - too many guns overall, and too many people have them who patently shouldn’t.Red flag laws and such are absolutely necessary. But you KNOW that "“mental health” is gonna be the shittiest yardstick possible, both in how it’s implemented and who it affects. You’re gonna see serial assaulters who don’t have any kind of a diagnosis continue to carry, while people who might enjoy range shooting but have a clinical diagnosis are denied.
Don’t get me wrong - I’m in the “NEITHER of 'em get guns, and nobody else, too” camp, and overall I think his point’s valid, and it’s tough to beat his “in my personal experience” take - but that one specific phrasing bugs me.
