I expect there to be some restrictions once I leave my property and go into the public with my firearm. And I would expect there to be restrictions in place to prevent mentally ill ( and I'll include violent and pathologically angry in that definition) persons from bringing a firearm into the public arena.
I'll agree, except there are specific legal avenues to declare one mentally ill and incompetent to own a firearm. Whom will declare one violent and pathologically angry? Does that reside under the mentally ill umbrella?
