3. I don't think all mental illness is the same
Nor should all mentally ill people not be allowed to have guns. I almost added that in my comments above, I realize it's an important distinction.

The problem with this is singling out people with mental illnesses who are more likely to be a danger, either to themselves or others, if they have a gun in their possession. I'm not qualified to make that judgment myself.
