You know we already have laws for thatAre you pushing laws to make it harder for the mentally ill to get guns?
No, individuals deemed a danger to themselves or others due to a mental illness, or those who have been involuntarily committed to a mental institution by a court or authority, are prohibited by federal law from purchasing or possessing firearms. While federal law sets the baseline, individual states may have broader prohibitions or specific processes for restoring gun rights after a disqualifying event.
