I think we have more mental issues these days.
I talk about my "friend" all the time; He was best man at my wedding. He has water on the brain, multiple brain surgeries, and mentally operates at the 16 -18 year old age level... Meaning, he is forty-five years old but only has the mental capacity of a teenager.
He operates as a normal person, and normal laws apply. He has an M4 assault rifle, perfectly legal. He is for the most part mentally retarded, 100% disabled vet, and he legally can own an assault rifle. Add in the fact that he's been divorced twice, has two kids in Europe he hasn't seen in fifteen years, and hasn't gotten laid in nearly twenty years and is constantly depressed... This is going to be a disaster.
(I've discussed this with all of his family, and they "Oh, John is just John" and "he would never hurt anyone".)
I have a feeling that there are a lot of people in society who function as normal adults, but have serious mental issues - are just like time bombs waiting to go off.
