it doesn't really matter if only a small percentage of mentally ill people actually use guns or violence. fact is they are not stable and rely on medications that most do not like to take to be "normal". there is no reason to give unstable people guns. there is such a huge amount of mental illness that goes undiagnosed, the ones who have actually been diagnosed just shouldn't own guns. it would at least cut down risk.
