So, should we just put everyone in jail that gets a prescription?

?
Then I guess the gun control nuts would want us to put all cops in jail......that would ensure that none of them become mass murderers.

I think it's a pretty strong evidence that it's a mental illness when someone believes that by banning guns, somehow it would prevent massacre of children. Look up Bath School Massacre, a world record of mass murder of children in peace time.

Even for some supernatural and inconceivable reason, it did prevent those 20 from being murdered but at what cost? In exchange for millions being murdered, raped, robbed, or hurt?

Ignoring that I have never even hinted at support for banning guns, when you get that psychology degree perhaps I will care what you consider evidence of mental illness.

Let's see:

I legally own a gun, which means I don't have criminal records or mental illness.

I also have a concealed carry license which means the FBI has run a background check and further confirmed that I don't have criminal records or mental illness.

What do you have? If you have nada, what gives you the authority to judge me? I should be judging you.

No, they are not. The Freedom of 300 million is more important than 20 children.
