See the link….line 12: sub [f]

there must be a disconnect between the medical groups and the reporting of mental instability to the legal groups.

i live in Il, i am on medication for mild depression and ADD (wellbutrin xl). i own 2 guns (a beretta 92fs handgun, and a WW2 mosin nagant russian rifle). i even have a minor criminal history (drunk driving). i bought both of these guns legally. i have never been commited to a mental health facility, and have never been treated for a mental illness (other than the conditions i stated, both of which are common). i dont know what meds he was taking or what he was taking it for, but he probably had his FOID (firearm owners identification card) long before he got the guns. it is easy for people to legally get them as long as the dont have any mental health records or a criminal history (depending on the crimes). and for all of you reading this who think i shouldnt own guns cuz i take meds and have a dui, you need to realize that individuals are different, and that the majority of people should not be punished (unable to own guns for protection and leisure) just because of a few wackos who would have killed people anyways.
