Absolutely, anyone with a psychological disorder should be banned from gun ownership.

Would you consider PTSD a psychological disorder? Whole lot of folks are diagnosed with psychological disorders at some point in their life.

I agree in theory, but it's very hard to do fairly in practice. First you have to define what "mental illness" is. For example, is a guy who checked himself into alcohol rehab now mentally ill? Is a guy who sought help for depression mentally ill? Is a war veteran with PTSD mentally ill?

It's very difficult to clearly label what mental illness means. Are we only going to restrict it to disorders like schizophrenia or are we going to expand it to the entirety of the DSM?

And you trust today's AMA to set parameters defining this?
