I agree with maria regina.  It disturbs me that trump wants to emphasize mental health and play along with that narrative.  I agree with the bumpstock ban.  But, I am willing to go even further.  I personally would consider not allowing any weapons currently in use by US military to be owned or used by anyone who is not active military.  And, I would consider requiring gun schooling or a retired military status for ownership of retired military weapons.  Too many civilians do stupid things when they get a military weapon in their hands.  And, vice versa.  Too many military do stupid things when at war with weapons commonly used as gunrange toys by their populace.  And, being that I consider a semi automatic weapon to be superior to an automatic weapon, I really do not shed tears over automatic weapons bans.  
I agree w/ everything you say. the only problem is that once the libs get a certain type of weapon banned, you know what comes next.. they will ask that another type is banned and it could go on who know how long
You know.. in a liberal geographical area (where big gov is not seen as bad), it is presumably easier to can get certified for SSI for  a mental impairment than in  conservative areas.  Again, the point is that liberals in power can term anyone they want as mentally ill. The term is so subjective as to be essentially meaningless. Instead of talking about depriving the "mentally ill" of guns, we should be focused on keeping guns out of the hands of violent psychopaths (the Christ-less folks, although not all who disbelieve in Jesus are evil... um... I suppose )
