they are fine with having all mentally ill registered and in a database for the world to see. Their privacy doesn't matter. but guns - hey - they offer no compromise.

we have definitely entered weird territory. Technically the 2nd amendment says nothing about differentiating between the mentally ill and others in terms of gun rights 'shall not be infringed'.

In fact, i've heard that visitors are not allowed to keep their guns in the nra building. that's a violation of the 2nd amendment.
