Please tell me how to deal with a rabid skunk without a gun.I'm not going to whack at it with a stick.Now that would be crazy.

I'm talking about the law, there will always be exceptions that make sense, but I don't care about those. I and most gun owners believe that the mentally ill should not have access to guns. How often do you get attacked by a rabid skunk? Aren't there pest control people you can hire? Are you in a rural area?
you are all having opinions based on falsehoods.
What falsehood?It is crazy to whack at a rabid animal with a stick.
Maybe stupid would be a better word.was not aiming that at you, but at "most gun owners."

Lack of enforcement is no reason to oppose a law that makes sense. The mentally ill lack the one skill most needed to be responsible for a deadly weapon, judgement. I have mentally ill friends, and by no means should they be able to legally get a gun. It's no judgement on you as an individual, it's a common sense idea.
Oh bull corn.Look how many "normal" people drive drunk and kill someone,text while driving,walk into traffic taking a selfie,max out credit cards,leave the baby or pet in a hot car and other general dumbassery.Is that good judgement? You can't judge everyone by the few you know.
Some folks on the spectrum can't talk or mange their own affairs,some function better and lead successful lives.
Same goes for mental illness.And for those of us who are on the spectrum and diagnosed with a mental illness.
You might want to slack off on the hashish,it will affect your ability to safely operate a gun.

That's probably true, but the law has to be broad, and use some benchmark for mental fitness. No one here has denied that some mentally ill people are not fit to own a gun. The issue is exactly what criteria should be used to deny them that right?

Some that are "sane" aren't fit to own a gun.Like domestic abusers,people with anger management problems,drunks,what criteria should we use to deny them?Anger,alcohol and guns are a bad mix for anyone involved.
I'd go with a history of violence.
There's no practical way to enforce any gun laws,in some larger cities it's easier to buy a gun off the street than find a ripe tomato.
