Not much of an insight...

This is simply because we allow untrained possession and use of guns even when people are unstable, criminal, or immature

Unstable according to whom and to what legal and medical standard?

Criminal? Prior to commission of a crime or before?

Immature? What does that even mean? Who gets to decide who is immature or not?
