Do we need more gun ownership restrictions or just better mental health services and checks?

1. There is a minority of gun owners who are so obsessive and extreme that

NOTHING matters more to them than their guns--not their children's safety, not their livelihood... nothing....

These are those who create the horrific conspiracy theories to deny what is happening to children in mass murders--e.g., the Sandy Hook deniers and those who simply spend every moment of every day on no other issue than guns.

I think this phenomenon ought to be studied in terms of a mental health issue, frankly.

Unfortunately, it this extreme group that could not be addressed via any kind of mental health exemption to gun ownership, making sensible gun control measures the only option. My just saying this is enough to make those of that extremist fringe so angry that they will want to shoot me and others who might agree. If THAT is not an example of mental derangement or disorder, I don't know what is.
