Let’s imagine that we KNEW keeping guns out of the hands of the mentally ill was the answer to all the shootings.

How should we clearly define “mentally ill”? How do you know when someone is not mentally healthy enough to be handling a gun?

When they are prescribed anti depressants

should everyone on anti depressants be banned from guns? and if so, for how long? @SW-User

@DoubleRings as long as they are on the prescription they should not be allowed to purchase guns or ammo

Is that fair? There are a bazillion people on antidepressants everyday that don’t shoot anything. Ever. @SW-User Medicated depressed people are prob less of a risk than people who are not. what do you think?

Also do you think that people will avoid diagnosis and treatment if they know their rights to guns will be revoked? I think they will.
