In reality, I think we should ban guns in a similar way as they did in Australia. The stats there seem to back it up.

The mentally ill can be dangerous, but it would have to be a matter of who. Obviously they are not all dangerous, and there would have to be a line drawn somewhere, with the knowledge that there cannot be 100% perfection.

Those on the terrorist watch list might have some right to challenge their being on it, and I suppose that would be fair. Mistakes happen there, too, and some of those individuals might not be dangerous. As of now, I don't know that they can argue that point.
