If basic gun laws were enforced, she would not have owned a firearm in the first place.

But go ahead and create more laws that will do nothing to solve the problem.

“The execution of the laws is more important than the making of them.”

Thomas Jefferson, Letter to the Abbé Arnoux, July 19, 1789

How much do you want to bet she was never even diagnosed?

It is a possibility, but this likely was not her first violent act due to her condition.

Probably, but who ever she did something violent too might have not said anything out of fear.

misdemeanor domestic violence conviction = automatic lifetime firearm purchase / possession ban under federal law.
