No, they're not mentally ill but those who feel it's necessary to build their own personal arsenal to prepare to fight the US Government are not committed to the public good.

The public good requires that we buy into the compact we have made with our government to participate in it and give those running the country the benefit of the doubt when making decisions about how to govern. Those committed to the 235+ year old US democratic government participate in it and when they don't agree with how it's operating, work within its established parameters to change what they don't like. They don't establish an armed camp, ready to engage in warfare with the government. Those people who don't buy into this compact should actually not live in this country. They should go to some desert island somewhere and establish a government based on what they believe. For our government to work, the citizenry has to buy into the idea that it will work and if it currently isn't, it's been designed that it can be fixed without resorting to civil war.

Additionally, those who are establishing their own armed compounds are utterly deluding themselves if they think for one minute they can keep the US military out. It's preposterous thinking but it's not mentally ill.

Bae: Mentally ill people are not less than human. They're ill.
