http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/09/veterans-ptsd-crime-report_n_1951338.html addresses the issue of crime and PTSD. I don't think that it's a good idea to have PTSD as a criteria for weapon possession because it would discourage people from getting treatment and felony conviction would work as effectively. I think that felons should be given the right to vote, and after they have served their sentence may have their right to possess weapons restored. -- Ron
