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.

Both had their guns taken away.
