Hey Ref! If I'm to keep quiet then the other side should keep quiet
too...

Short answer: those of us who think law-abiding adults have a duty
to arm themselves to protect themselves and others and stop crime do
believe that those with a medical history of bats in the belfry should
be refused legal firearms.

See the NY Times article analysing the 102 US rampage kilers since the
war. All had either mental history or a history of making public and
violent threats.
