Man, I hate these slippery slope cases. I'm sure we all are aware by now that the Left wants to use "mental illness" as a means to suspend or take away your 2A rights. We should remember that things like OCD are considered a mental illness so someone who say washes their hands obsessively could lose their 2nd amendment rights. Who is actually "qualified" to determine who's mentally ill? dangerous or a threat to themselves? In some states even a licensed councilor can make this diagnosis. I don't know about you folks but I have seen several licensed councilors who I would call mentally ill kooks and don't want them anywhere near that kind of power. A judge? not qualified. A Psychiatrist? Would want several opinions from more than one. 90% of those who attempt suicide never try it again so those odds alone should be taken into consideration.
The main issue, as I said, are those who are interested in gun control and not suicide control. It won't end with just attempted suicide losing their 2A rights but will quickly expand to a wide encompasing "mental illness" reason and a wide net will indeed be used to "define" it. This suicide narrative is just another end to their means.
