Help me understand something:

How would a background check prevent the purchase of a legal gun at a store by a mentally stable person who, some time after the purchase, becomes mentally unstable and who then uses the gun?

I have yet to see or hear of a background check, or a background check process, that can accurately and reasonably determine who will become mentally unstable before that person actually does, but maybe you know of one.
