"In his majority opinion, Justice Scalia went out of his way to state
that the Second Amendment right of armed self-defense is not absolute.
He provided what he himself termed a non-exhaustive list of permissible
regulations: restriction on firearms possession by felons and the
mentally ill; restrictions on possession in sensitive places such as
schools and government buildings; and conditions on sales."

(I think the CRPD argument is that restrictions based on the disability
of mental illness discriminate. Sylvia)
