More amusingly...
There are threads on this site by people complaining about any negative mental status reports from VA or other medical authorities possibly impacting citizens ability to purchase and own guns.

So.... in practice people aren't fans

You're ruining his usual straw man argument.

yup.
and to complicate things further, we've had a couple of posts point out that less than 5% of mass shootings wer done by people who would be diagnosed as mentally ill, and that stats in general show diagnosed mentally ill citizens are not more likely to kill than the public at large.

... and z says my argument is a strawman.
You just said that anyone who wants to limit gun ownership by the mentally unfit is only hiding the ultimate goal of trying to keep guns put of the hands of the entire populace.

If you are going to bother disagreeing with the above, your quote was:
"Only a very few will admit that ALL control measures are just a means to an end, the end of all firearm ownership by anyone other than the government"

Your words not mine.

I was just pointing out that policies checking on people's mental health by various institutions were complained about here. Ironically... your response was "they just can't balance their checkbook... but we should totally give them guns"... which is in itself a hilarious argument and something I think should be implemented immediately with joyous results.
