Not according to your numbers that in 2019 alone 298 out of 478 cases were filed for prosecution

I've already said that the "very rare" qualifier doesn't mesh with 60% of referrals becoming "cases" (60% is in no way "rare"), but I also said that we still need to know how many of those "cases" result in "charges". If it's something like 10%, then "very rare" is justified.

Just out of curiosity do you think it is wise to have a law that bars narcotic addicts from owning firearms or not?

I do. But the 2nd amendment-friendly courts seem not to. Although, there are practicality problems: how do you prove someone is a narcotics addict? Is a former conviction necessary? Is mere self-admission enough? Testimony by others?
