Yep. And honestly I’m tired of blaming mental illness while at the same time not doing anything about mental illness.

Plus, mentally-ill people are overwhelmingly victims of violent crimes, not perpetrators.

One problem though with mental illness is in the rule set aside by the Trump Administration on guns and the mentally ill, the ACLU and twenty-three disability rights organisations argued to set it aside.

aclu.org

The argument used was primarily a slippery-slope argument: If you can take a II Amendment right from a mentally-ill person, then you could take any right (or expand that to other disabilities).
