But preventing abusers from getting guns is much easier in a system where the default is not “until proven crazy, anyone can have a gun”.
So where I live you need a doctor’s note saying you don’t have issues like that before getting a gun.
Ofc you can develop the problem after getting the permits, but I know a few gun owners who developed an alcohol problem and one so massive they started being violent towards others when properly pissed.
Of course it is.

Both had their guns taken away.
