An odd question occurs to me. With all the talk about background checks to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill, would that mean that someone who is judged too insane to buy a gun would be too insane to execute?

If they can't get a gun, what would you execute them for, since they obviously cannot commit murder without one? Har har har.

There are a lot of reasons that a person could be prevented from buying a gun due to mental illness, and very few reasons that a person can be found not guilty by reason of insanity.
