Mental illness is extremely hard to test for, and weapons increase the risk of death in a home invasion. The safe handling and storage of the weaponry should be ensured as well before anyone should purchase a gun to guarantee children and criminals can never access a firearm.

Yes, I completely agree. I also believe in bi weekly mental health testing for those who have a gun in the house.

While your suggestion of bi-weekly mental health testing for gun owners stems from a genuine concern for safety, it's essential to consider the practicality and potential invasion of privacy. For instance, not only could such frequent testing be seen as intrusive, but it also raises questions about who will cover the costs and manage the logistics. Also, mental health fluctuates; someone might be completely healthy one week and start experiencing issues the next.
