Anyone hearing voices needs to have their guns immediately seized.

That would violate the 1st amendment right to religion.

As the late great Christopher Hitchens once said (paraphrasing here):

When god hears you that's prayer. When you hear god that's mental illness.

This is a common misconception.

If you talk to the imaginary being in the sky that is sane and you should be able to buy a tank or a machine gun.

If the imaginary being in the sky talks to you, you are a crazy person and should be limited to 6 rifles or less.

Yeah, but since no further help will be forthcoming, who will admit to it?

But my dog told me it was OK for me to keep a rifle.

Well if the dog says so how can we disagree? Give him a treat and some pats for me.

Agreed, including all the Evangelical preachers claiming "God spoke to me..."
