Be very careful what you agree to.
The definition of mentally ill can be very broad. It can encompass everything from something like temporary post partum depression to schizophrenia.
Most mental illness would not preclude gun ownership. Only those adjudicated as mentally ill as being a danger to themselves or others should be prohibited from owning guns.
The Left would take an open ended statement like “the mentally ill” and march a battalion of restrictions through the gap. They are currently ready to diagnose every soldier that has ever seen combat with PTSD so they can restrict their right to own guns.
Yup. Headed that way. Depressed? Anxious? Be vewwy vweey cawefull what you say or express. Basically, keep quiet.
ATF Form 4077 line f is where the line should be draw...
Anything outside of that standard should contested tooth and nail...
You got that exactly right. I would make a bet that in the not distant future, anyone who ever took a valium after a bereavement or some such, is going to be on the list as “mentally unstable” and not eligible for Second Amendment rights.
That’s why I can’t say it enough, do NOT register your guns!
