I don't know what the answer is as to how to keep people like that from buying guns without limiting other's freedoms, but it seems to me there should be some way we can do that and make both sides happy.

I wouldn't mind it if the background checks somehow could see if the person had been prescribed psychotropic drugs, but then we still get back to the same problem of a person being able to obtain a weapon illegally.
So when guns are banned and someone commits a shooting anyways with an illegal weapon I guess people will feel better about the situation and say "Well, at least he didn't do it with a gun he bought legally."
