This is really ridiculous.

Honestly, however, anyone who owns a gun and acts as if they are there for anything besides blowing a hole in someone else has mental health issues themselves.

The two issues aren't unrelated. A huge change in the way mentally ill are approached by authorities would lead to less people owning guns - because the unhinged tend to buy more firearms. The approach to mental health right now makes mental health treatment a personal choice - with all the commercial psych meds I've written about being a good example - and the patients are basically able to do things like go out and own firearms, etc.

If you want to reform this issue, it'll mean alot of government intervention. Alot less money will be made. Nothing in America happens unless someone is profiting from it and psyched out people shooting each other happened because it benefited more than a few.

In reply to Mother faces firearms charges in Pa. bar shooting (by mentally ill son)

[....] Her son, David Mazzocco, 25, of Imperial, who is not permitted to have guns because of his history of mental health problems [....]

According to the criminal complaint:

Mazzocco is forbidden from having a gun because of a 2006 involuntary psychiatric commitment after he flew into a drunken rage at his family's home and started flicking lighted cigarettes at two gas cans covered with straw. He signed a voluntary commitment the following year after firing two shots inside his girlfriend's bathroom.

Gloria Mazzocco told detectives that on Sunday she gave her son two handguns she normally keeps in a safe. She said he told her he wanted to take them to a friend's house to show them to the friend's mother, who was interested in buying a gun.

She said she had misgivings because the last time her son had a gun he shot a hole in the kitchen wall [....]
