If anyone is curious about my position on why I think someone should be deemed safe to handle a gun before they can buy a gun (completely opinionated and not factual so it was left out of original post) it is because if someone whom is mentally unstable cannot buy guns legally then they will go to illegal methods... Now those that sell weapons illegally for a profit make money on repeat business and not going to jail, selling weapons to someone whom is mentally unstable is definitely not repeat business and if caught they cannot be trusted to not rat you out so it really wouldn't be in the best interest for them to sell that person weapons either. Look, worst case scenario we reduce the number of mass shootings (as seen in Canada, UK, Australia) but murders with guns still exist and best case won't happen. Because of my bias (and love for the taste of game meat) I do not agree with prevention of any guns being sold but rather restrictions on guns and equipment (suppressors, high capacity magazines, etc) being sold to those with proper gun handling training, no violent criminal background, and no mental illness. I could write an entire novel outlining my disposition on the subject but that does not change the numbers present from this data.
