[QUOTE="UnSafe, post: 2320419, member: 100"] Referring to the first two people listed in the article, were they diagnosed as being schizophrenic after arrest? Sure, they might have been nutty as squirrel turds (As many are), but unless they sought mental health eval and treatment or were forced to by a court/ emergency detention, who's to know exactly how nutty they were and what actionable threat did they pose to public safety? Unless we screen 100% of the population for mental illnesses (which is impossible and wrong), there's no 100% way to identify potentially dangerous people. A few will slip through the cracks, and fewer still wil cause mayhem. No law will fix that. Doing what you can to protect your firearms from unauthorized access does help, but who decides how much protection is defensible as "adequate"? [/QUOTE]
