Quote:The bolded text is irrelevant and a red herring. Regardless, many more weren't. A relative of mine was murdered, but the perpetrator plea bargained to manslaughter and was out in 7 years. Cut her up and stuffed her in a closet. If you think his debt was paid and he should be able to purchase a gun upon release we will probably find no common ground.

 

Should someone with a clinical diagnosis of mental illness be able to own a gun?

I'm truly sorry, murderers shouldn't be free. But that works the other way too, those who should never have been jailed lose their rights forever.


As for mental illness, homosexuality was a mental illness according to the experts not all that long ago. Should that have been enough to prevent them from owning legally? See, the catch to this is in who gets to decide, and I have very little faith in most of those who do.
