most people didn't read the actual text of the proposed legislation known as the 2013 assault weapons ban and thus cried about it's not passing, not caring or realizing it was an absolutely horrible proposal. the problem is that it's a very slippery slope on what defines someone as too crazy under such laws? what about the mass over-diagnoses of modern, lazy psychologists who basically act as pill-whores? what used to be just a hyperactive kid is now ADHD and must take pills for being natural instead of just less sugar in the diet and more attention from lazy parents(you know, same ones think it's OK to use a leash like a kid is a dog). a non-violent person who had been diagnosed with ADD(or even anything else minor) was considered the same as a hardened criminal under that POS legislation. that would have automatic disqualification overnight for Millions of Americans since it's at least 25% of all high school aged males. 1/5th of all Americans are currently prescribed medication for light to moderate depression, and everyone goes through some level of depression at least one point in their lives(family members/loved ones die, etc.). plus doctor patient confidentiality, etc. it's actually a very complex issue that requires a vast improvement of the healthcare system and societal responsibility over alll to even be considered a viable option.
