So you think that diagnosed paranoid Schizophrenics and other dangerous mentally ill individuals (with our already inept and broken mental healthcare system) should just be left unchecked to be able to purchase and have access to firearms? If James Holmes had been professionally diagnosed (that's addressing our broken MH system), and there were a system in place that limited/restricted those who had legitimate diagnosis of dangerous mental illnesses (we're not talking depression and PTSD here- no-shit mental issues that are proven to have led people to murder) you'd oppose it? The mental illness thing is a potential slippery slope, but it's also an issue that needs to be addressed, whether you accept that or not.
