Stricter guidelines are desperately needed to stop mentally unstable individuals from easily obtaining firearms.
Why is this important?
I have a close relative that is mentally ill. In the past, he owned several guns and threatened me and other family members for decades. Most of his arsenal was obtained at gun shows in California. After being arrested and convicted of violating mine and my then-minor daughter's restraining order with firearms, he no longer has access to easily obtainable firearms. This is good, but too little, ALMOST too late.
