I would support a national registry for all mental health patients
A persons name would be in the national registry if a licensed psychiatrist deemed that person unfit to own a firearm...
There would be an appeals process for people on the national list banning them from purchasing a firearm.

Got news for you DUmbshit: it already exists. Question #11f on
BATF Form 4473 asks:
"Have you ever been adjudicated mentally defective (which includes a determination by a court, board, commission or other lawful authority that you are a danger to yourself or to others or that you are incompetent to manage your own affairs) OR have you ever been committed to a mental institution?"
IN other words, if at any time in your life, a court has been asked to declare you, well, the typical DUmmy, you are forevermore banned from so much as simple possession of a firearm of any kind. Oh, and the records of such adjudications are available to the NICS system: if the background check turns even one up,
DING! no gun for you. (By the way: this is why the Dear Leader Regime is going gangbusters on their efforts to get Desert Storm/OEF/OIF vets to come forward for "treatment" of their PTSD. It counts as an adjudication of mentally defective, according to them.)
So, DUmmy, knowing that your grand idea has been in place for at least 25 years, how'd that work out in Connecticut last week?
