I can only speak for myself here, but I don't have any bias towards those with mental health problems in general.
My problem is with those VIOLENT or hyper-aggressive thugs who use mental health issues as a crutch or an excuse for their crimes or those who feel that even with medication(s) or treatment programs feel it's okay or safe for them to carry weapons or loaded firearms.
The recent tragic murder of ex-SEAL Chris Kyle in Texas(by a combat veteran with documented PTSD) & the recent road rage shooting in central FL where a guy with a CC license & a .45 Colt Defender murdered a car lot employee after a car accident show that there are people who should not have easy access to weapons & ammunition.
