Your original comment didn't just address minors.

And, so? I thought you knew that some states prohibit the mentally afflicted from voting. I guess you didn't!

Then I don't understand your point. If your goal is to keep mentally unstable people from getting their hands on guns, then you really have no options beyond the following:

1. Mandatory incarceratio -- for indefinite periods of time -- for people who are deemed to be "mentally unstable" by some sovereign authority; or

2. Mandatory amputation of all limbs for people who are deemed to be "mentally unstable" by some sovereign authority.

Nothing short of one of these two measures is ever going to prevent the kind of incident that occurred in Red Lake the other day.
