The American Civil Liberties Union actually sided with Republicans in urging the repeal of the rule, writing in a letter to members of Congress that, "We oppose this rule because it advances and reinforces the harmful stereotype that people with mental disabilities, a vast and diverse group of citizens, are violent."
Difficult territory. The ACLU's point is fair. And obviously it'd be better if nobody had access to firearms. Having a situation where you have to make firearms available to everyone to avoid unfair stigmatisation is just structurally fucked up.
