    Mental illness, It's a horrible word which nobody wants to talk about and yet it is becoming more and more common. Almost everyone could be diagnosed with a mental illness (at some stage) if they went to see a doctor while feeling down,relationship issues, family issues, health issues, money issues. Does it make them unfit to hold a FAL? Sometimes maybe, sometimes not. The problem I see with mental illness is it's very hard to diagnose compered to a broken bone, cancer, etc. I know of kid's that have been diagnosed with ADHD but instead of taking the drugs they changed there diet and are now completely different kid's. I also know a few people that have committed suicide, which now seems to be the latest trend according to the latest stats most of the people I know off thou you would have never thought would do it eg: man with young kids, no money problems and seemed happy then other side off the coin a young boy who had tried at least three times before he got it right.
    What's my point? I guess I'm trying to say unless they change the FAL to a 12 month re-newel with a full medical there will be plenty of people out there with a mental illness with a FAL because a lot of shit can happen in 10 years. Like what's been said before, guns don't kill people, people kill people! Lets face it guns aren't hard to get hold off with no FAL and I think they always will be. And while we are there trying to stop people with a mental illness getting there FAL maybe we should be drug testing everyone with a FAL? maybe once a month? P is bad shit but seems to be every where.
    Any way, if they want to kill they will, with or with out guns!
    I think the big question should be.......how the fuck has society got so fuckin bad????? pricks out there beating the living fuck out of people, rape, murder, bomb threats, parents beating there babies, bulling, shit I could go on all day.
    I have a feeling that it has a lot to do with things like social media, movies, cartoons, PlayStation games and ok........... Tinder has had a couple bad wraps also.
