Even if they were the least bit accurate in the assumption about gathering names, do they want people with schizophrenia to be armed?

PTSD is a mental illness and it is no joke. It terrifies me that my dad sleeps with a loaded gun next to his bed. There was a rule of thumb in our house about not waking him up because he would either be intensely irritable and start yelling or jump up ready to fight if he was startled by it.

I agree that listings about people's health (physical and mental) would be overly intrusive (and that there is no effort in the works to do so)- I am just pointing out how ridiculous their concerns are over someone with PTSD not having access to a gun.
