"Depressed/Neurodivergent/etc. people shouldn't carry guns." "Yep, great idea why don't we take their other rights as well?" I'm all for permiting guns only to people who need them for work, but this is just discrimination, without any positive consequences.

Because you're imagining a system that is discrimating.

Our system for gun ownership is less restricting than the one we have for being able to drive a car.
