ORIGINAL: Nosathro First off, studies have shown the mentally ill are no more violent then any other group. There are problems with the Federal Data base. As I pointed out in other threads some of these people who have commited crimes were under care, and were reported to authorities which did nothing. In a current case which I will not mention by name, the accused has admitted having Attention Deficit (Hyperactive) Disorder and is taking medication specifically Adderall and Tamazepam. The disorder syptoms include irresponsible behavior, easily loose temper, quick to anger. The medication have side effects that include psychosis, aggresion, irritabilty, hallucination to name a few. Yet this person did manage to legally obtain weapons. I find it rather funny that some pro gun people dismissed all this, yet now in gerneral are trying to focus on the mentally ill as a means to divert attention away from other issues. http://articles.latimes.com/2013/jan/12/nation/la-na-background-checks-20130113 Actually, the test would probably be for psychotic or sociopathic behavior patterns, those people are much more likely to be violent, see any report on serial and spree killers.
