2. "Criminals or people with mental health issues should not have guns"

Taken from his interview today:

Some mental health issues should revoke any right to have guns, which could prevent mass shootings such as the James Holmes one.

EDIT: Just to clarify, he did not define "potential terrorists", but it's logical to think that some mental health issues impair some people to the point that they may some day become dangerous to themselves or others (eg. James Holmes).

7. I don't know

Bernie mentioned criminals as an example of a group of people that should have restricted gun rights, but I don't know more specifics.

8. What kinds?

Someone with Schizophrenia because it impairs their judgement in viewing what is reality.

However, I have issues with people who have ADD/ADHD, OCD or depression being prevented from getting guns. None of these disabilities diminish their grasp of reality.

9. Details haven't been provided yet.

I agree with you that not all mental health issues should prevent from getting guns. Bernie probably agrees with you too.

However, people with depression should not have guns. It can take just 1 under the blue day for them to commit serious harm to themselves. It's much easier with a gun.

10. There is no legal way to stop everyone with depression from owning a gun.

Only a court via due process can strip a person of a right or property, and in the case of mental illness, it requires a finding that you are a clear danger to yourself or others.

and we can talk about it.

Nobody should have guns, despite the Second Amendment. Got it, thanks.
