The headline is fine.
Approximately 8 million illegal immigrants tried to purchase guns; less than 6 million people adjudicated mentally ill attempted to fo so.
Thus, IM outnumbered MI by 2 million plus.

Your numbers are Completely WRONG
I see male military age rough-looking tough-looking Spanish-speakers in the gunshops directing girls who buy the guns and apparently later give the Spanish-speakers access to the guns.
if this is true pls. alert you dem./dim! representative.
Is the eight millions a headcount or the number of attempts to purchase by illegals?
What level of prosecution did these illegals face?
And I think it is safe to ask, why weren't these people prosecuted?
If and when these people become American citizens and get ALL the Constitutional Rights due them, they will be allowed to buy firearms. When they do buy them, they must be reminded that there is a political party which wants to disarm them. If they do become qualified....looky looky...a whole,brand new group of Republican voters.
This article is misleading and claims false data. The Indicies is the names in the database, NOT the number of checks. The author doesn't seem to understand this.
The actual stats of attempted purchases by illegal aliens was 25,825. That's a BIT short of 7.8 million. This is just sloppy blogsphere 'investigative journalism'.
QUOTING THE ARTICLE
"illegal immigrants top the next category for prohibited gun purchases by more than 2 million cases. "
So maybe the Headline needs adjusting.
