I agree with this however I would like people carrying the guns to take a tests to decide whether or not they are mentally stable enough to do so.

So basically if you want to carry a gun, you need to pass tests and be cleared to do so.

This. It should be OK to have a gun (as well as a conceal and carry license) for every citizen in the US but they definitely need everyone who applies to get a gun take a psych test.

I can agree with this.

Only problem is people go through different stages at certain points in their life. I agree mentally unstable people shouldn't own a gun. However, should someone be blacklisted from owning a gun the rest of their life because they went through a period of deep depression because of serious shit going on in their life? I'll use myself as an example. If I got a psych evaluation last year I probably would have been denied gun permit. Why? because I havent seen my son since July 2011. The mom took him out of state and I have no clue where. I was pissed off (still am) and depressed. Though I was very competent in owning a gun because I would have never used it on someone unprovoked. This week I found a website where she is trying to raise funds so she can get her fiance to adopt my son. Now I'm not depressed anymore but this infuriated me to no end. We all know that if I had a psych eval and got denied then it would be damn near impossible to reverse the desicion in the future
