"I'm pro, but" --weren't you complaining about how no one will stand up for gun rights in WA the other day?
Seriously; ponder your position some more. You tossed out Autustic, which is a continuum from locked-in nutbars to unnoticeable ticks that do not affect quality of life. You are tossing out exaggerated terms that have no practical use in bounding policy and most of which are completely unenforceable (yup, let's disarm all the alcoholics; you gonna use a booze registry?), and may not even be capable of meeting due process due to their subjectivity.
"I think even the framers of the constitution themselves would have agreed that not EVERYONE has the mental capacity to own firearms responsibly."
"No free man shall be debarred the use of arms" --Jefferson
If they are not slaves, committed, or incarcerated, what are they? This logic you hold will be abused and used to target political undesirables. It was during Jim Crow, it was during the Soviets' reign, and it is being used in Euro nations where one must 'prove' their sanity when seeking a gun permit, since that's the closest thing to an enforceable mechanism.
