| Your assumption on 'impulse-buying' on the gun market doesn't hold in the States, sadly.
As for mental stability tests... a good idea in principle, but implementation over here would be a problem. Just look at how many people buy bullshit like creationism, homeopathy, Kevin Trudeau's 'natural cures for everything' and other such frauds... the people who can be trusted with guns, the people who aren't 'average Americans', are going to be labeled the crazy ones. Don't ever - EVER - expect an American to give a good definition of sanity.
