Gun-rights advocates proposed a national registry of mentally ill citizens

Evidence

There have been proposals to create a national database of the mentally ill to prevent them from buying guns (Brennan, 2012). Wayne LaPierre explained the necessity for a national mental illness registry: “We have a mental health system in this country that has completely and totally collapsed. We have no national database of these lunatics” (Gertz, 2012). — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 1272
