Outlaw SSRI's

Outlaw drugs to treat mental illness but allow people suffering from mental illness guns?

I don't have a good answer. There is quite clear evidence people being treated with SSRIs do many of the mass shootings, but they are only a minute percentage of people on SSRIs obviously.

The problem is when you restrict the rights of people on a basis of "mental illness", then the slope of what is considered "mental illness" slides. The WHO currently considers video game addiction a mental illness, so what, anyone that ever played too much World of Warcraft can't own guns now?
