but I see that you are not getting a lot of help here. Here is an article explaining what this is about:

I would probably not respond at all to this FB post, but if you choose to, note that this is the same for vets as it is for the general public. People who are mentally ill are not supposed to be able to buy guns. And that is all they are talking about. I even read some of the comments, and found that some vets were not opposed, knowing some veterans who are not capable of dealing with life, much less possessing guns.
