Under those guidelines — neither I, nor most of my closest friends would be permitted to own firearms...
Rest of post CENSORED.
Well, according to what I wrote, if you or your friends go around telling other people you want to kill a particular individual, under a lot of circumstances that in itself could be considered a criminal act, whether you have a gun or not.
Add to that you’re speaking at the time to a psychiatrist evaluating you to see whether you are sane enough to be walking the street, and there is indeed a good chance you are either amazingly, dangerously honest, or it might not be a good idea for you to have a gun because you would be a danger to yourself or others.
Now granted, I knew a Marine who was so opposed to lying that he told me that if his wife asked him, he would tell her that yes, she does look fat. But he is far more likely to be a homicide victim than an aggressor. There are times when honesty is not the best policy.
However, the bottom line is that it can be diagnostic of serious mental illness if someone goes around telling others they want to kill a particular individual. It is a red flag, much as if they tell others that they want to kill themselves. It is not proof positive, but a very good reason to keep a watch on somebody.
