Who gets to define what a "serious mental problem" is?

Exactly. Look at who can be included in the database. Some will be included AFTER adjudication and some WITHOUT any adjudication whatsoever.

And there will be no consistent application of standards for those not adjudicated. Some will get evaluated by physicians. Others by psychologists. Some by masters level clinicians. Some by student interns. Others by cops and medics. There will be different levels of expertise and different evaluations for those put in the database without legal adjudication.

I just don't believe in stripping people of their constitutionally given rights without adjudication.

If you read the DSM-IV-TR you will quickly discover that everyone on the planet is suffering from some kind of diagnosable mental illness.

The minute they prohibit anyone who has a diagnosable mental illness from owning a firearm, you can bet that they will be able to prevent EVERYONE from owning one.
