It's a tough call. What if someone is on medication for something like bipolar disorder and while on the meds lives a normal life? Should that person be able to buy a gun?
When these folks stop taking the meds or the meds suddenly stop working correctly and need to be changed by dose or type, they can really have some problems suddenly. They could go south quickly and easily. I have some friends with this issue and I've seen them normal for years and, suddenly, so depressed they can't get out of bed and entertain thoughts of suicide.

Exactly. Even taking mental disorders out of the picture, everyone's mental state is constantly in flux. Everyone has a tipping point that will send them over the edge. Most will never reach it, but it's there.
While mental healthcare in this country leaves a lot to be desired, I'm not sure it would have prevented very many mass shootings. For the most part, you have to want to get help. Very few people are locked up and not allowed in society because of their mental disorders.
