Another gun control topic!
My question is: Should people with serious mental disorders be allowed to legally buy a gun?
Personally, I think it's a bad idea to allow said people access. They are at a high risk to hurt themselves or someone else.
What are your thoughts on this, Flood?
Edit: Additionally, say some mental diseases that would be black-listed for the sale of guns.

Simply putting more restrictions on guns, heck even if you outlawed guns, it would not solve the problem. More backgrounds checks, make it harder to get a gun, and more funding and public awareness of mental disorders is what I think is needed. But then i'm not American.

2 RepliesBut it's the RIGHT to. Which means, technically everyone should be supplied with one. You should not be denied a right just because you can't afford it, you also shouldn't be denied right based on mental status[spoiler]this said I don't think it should be a right or even a privilege. Guns are dumb[/spoiler]

1 ReplyWell, it's pretty obvious why this subject is back on the front page. The real question is, what happens when the person goes crazy [I]after[/I] they've bought a gun legally?

1 ReplyOf course not. That would be silly.

1 ReplyDepends. If uou had depression as a teen you shouldn't be banned from owning a gun the rest of your life.

9 RepliesOf course not, that is ridiculous. I don't think anyone without proper training and a valid reason should be allowed to buy a gun in the first place, let alone carry one in public.

SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED

Depends on the disorder. If they're prone to suicide or aggressive tendencies, then no.
