Featured As a Believer, is Gun Control the Right thing to Do?

Several attempts have been, and are being made, to prevent those with "mental illness" from being able to procure weapons.

Unfortunately, most of these attempts have been so far-reaching in their efforts that "mental illness" has included military veterans (with or without PTSD), and even those with conservative and/or religious beliefs.

Most of the people on Baptist Board would probably be classified as mentally unfit to own a weapon.

The big problem they continue to run into is NOT privacy issues; it's "How do you identify and classify someone as mentally unfit/unable to own a weapon?" How do you add that to someone's record, like a criminal conviction? What are the criteria? What are the criteria for having it removed from the record?

In theory, it seems like a good idea. In practice -- well, as they say, the devil's in the details.
