OK first of all I am not from the US, but in my country we do have a lot of weapons, all kinds, I don't own one because I don't think I can use one safely so I don't want to be a peril to anyone else, same reason I don't drive a car. I think mental checks to be able to buy a gun are reasonable nobody wants someone who is certifiably insane to walk around with a weapon. If you can use a gun responsibly I see no reason for you not to have one. I do have one thing to point out though, most Americans who are pro gun think that by just having a weapon they are safe guarding their freedoms, I wonder if they will be able to use said weapons once the shit hits the fan, we have a saying in Spanish which says- No es lo mismo verla venir que platicar con ella- which is more or less- It's not the same to see her coming than to speak with her.
Also I want to point out this raising the age to own a weapon to 21 years is kind of dumb, I see no benefit in this, so a potential murderer just has to wait a couple of more years to do his thing, apart from the fact he can probably buy a gun in the underground markets.

Many times that "mental health" idea becomes an excuse to ban guns from people that you disagree with politicially or religiously.
No I'm talking about someone who is completely nuts.
