How much do you know about mental illness?  In any event, that word you inserted, "necessarily," kind of gives one cold comfort. Sure the dude can have a gun, because he may not necessarily kill me. Great!

Oh, my opinion. Sickies should not have guns. Period. Thanks.  

He knows more than you apparently. Being mentally ill is not the same thing as being psychotic. Statistics indicate that on average people with mental illnesses are no more violent than most people. Are you not aware that mental illness includes things like ADHD - are people with that condition "sickies" who shouldn't have guns?

By the way, a clinically sane person who you are apparently fine with allowing to have a gun might not necessarily kill you.

Yes, I equate being mentally ill with being psychotic, and if not psychotic, I guess I would need to know exactly how you define mental illness.

I define it how the medical community does, like a sensible person.

If I want to specify that a person is psychotic, I'd say they were psychotic.
