True, and I understand the appeal of that reasoning, but some people who become mass shooters aren't highlighted as mentally ill before the shooting, and getting the federal government to determine and enforce that standard is a potential threat to liberty - because where is the line? Should military vets with PTSD not be allowed to hunt game with a single or double shot gun due to their status? What about people with bipolar and/or depression having guns? ADHD? Fear of Failure? Anyone who has ever had therapy? Even just someone that somebody else reported as acting oddly? Aren't we all at least a little bit crazy? I'm not trying to diminish these things because they do exist as much as to say that there are ambiguities to the human mind represented in the ambiguities separating these mental conditions, and the line between sanity and insanity is too blurry to stake everything on when it comes to stuff like this - because sometimes, the shooter has no criminal record or mental health diagnosis, but everyone after the fact loves to say "he's crazy", in great part to make themselves feel better. A lot of good mental health restrictions on guns to do stop that guy.
