People with mental illness shouldn't have guns, they can't hold or control themselves with them and will end up shooting everyone.

The United States Constitution guarantees a person's right to bear arms, regardless of any mental or physical disability. While it is true that a person with a mental illness may be unable to safely hold or control a gun, the decision whether or not to restrict an individual's gun ownership should be made on an individual basis by mental health professionals, rather than a blanket ban based on an underlying mental illness. Additionally, if a person is found to pose an imminent threat to themselves or others, certain restrictions and safeguards can be put in place, such as an involuntary commitment, to ensure safety.  But this decision should be based on evidence and not a blanket belief that persons with a mental illness should be prohibited from owning a gun.  Additionally, restricting access to guns can have a significant impact on decreasing suicide rates, the number one cause of death in persons with mental illness. So, although it is a controversial issue, gun control measures need to take into account the specific circumstances and individual assessments of each person when making decisions about gun ownership and control.
