Can I just say something about mental health?

17. It is much more helpful to base gun ownership on past actions than mental illness diagnosis.

If someone has committed a violent act, whether that be assault or domestic violence or even road rage that results in an accident, they are far more likely to commit violence with a gun than someone with, for example, a schizophrenia diagnosis.

I never said you said "all". But you made the direct connection in your first post.

Aggressive and angry do not always (or even often) go with unstable. This is the fundamental misunderstanding. They are "crazy" in the colloquial sense, because what kind of person goes into a public establishment and murders dozens of people? But they are not unstable in the clinical sense (unless they are, as I said below. Antisocial personality disorder can lead to violence. But most violent acts are NOT committed by people with a diagnosable mental health condition.).
