Frank, the problem with the original law was that mental illness was not defined. I person who sees a therapist for weight loss has a problem and by the statute could be denied his rights. As with so many laws, they always seem to target to many people who should not be targeted. I would agree that someone who is delusional should not posses a firearm. But what about some one who suffered from depression? What if its now under control but he still sees a doctor for therapy?
