I don't want felons and mentally challenged carrying guns around. But I am not for laws that forbid them from doing so. I'm not a judge nor juror. I know some felons that have been rehabilitated and I would trust them with a gun more than one of my peers that as you said "is worried about where he is going to get his next fix" There may also be a person that has had some mental issue but has obtained counseling and is now considered normal. I'm not saying I can make that determination, but the government surely can't.
The point I am trying to make is that our government is the most inefficient organization in the country. Let society work it out. This government can't even handle what it has on its' plate now, why add more regulation it has to attempt to enforce and add more cases to the already high case load our judicial system has.
People have to rely on the government for far too much. This is not what our founding fathers intended to happen. We are so far from what they had in mind that its scary.
