Americans. You are all crazy.

In most other countries this is handled through the licensing for 
weapons. People don't get to carry weapons unless they can show that 
they can handle them. Like cars.

Looking at 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overview_of_gun_laws_by_nation#Comparison 
shows that the US is an outlier in relative lack of checking (together 
with Switzerland, however, even there permits are not given to 
psychiatrically disqualified people).
