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.

It's an impossible solution, and that's why the gun nuts like to use it.
Why are we blaming guns, when we should be looking at the mental health problems in America. It's impossible to regulate guns by mental health checks and standards, and that's why they love that argument.
