I don’t think you have to be of two minds–at least I’m not. “Mentally ill shouldn’t have guns” is a terrible solution. All this does is stigmatize mental illness. Mentally ill people won’t seek treatment out of concern for losing access to their guns (I know some) and it helps “other” people with mental illness as possible shooters (they’re more likely to be victims of violence). It’s just an excuse to avoid more general solutions.
