seesaw, yes I understand exactly what you are saying! I agree totally. And, yes to the second half as well.

I was on a friend's post on FB and they were discussing the right to bear arms, the day after the Las Vegas shooting. And, throughout this long discussion, "crazy" and "mentally ill" were used over and over. I had reached my limit...I posted something along these lines: Well I suffer from several mental health issues, own quite a few guns, even have a concealed weapons permit, and I live in WY where everybody carries. So, by everything you have all said - you should be very, very afraid of ME! The discussion pretty much stopped. I got two responses, both were from women who also suffer from mental health issues. One said she thinks that when you apply for a gun permit, you should come forth and admit you have mental health issues. And, because you admit that, you then should be prepared for "home visits" before your permit is granted. WHAT?? I'm not adopting a child!! A person could remove or add anything to their home to pass. I was shocked. Anyway I agree with you. Thanks
