Of course they shouldn't purchase / own guns. The issue is *how* to stop them from doing so. Unconvicted people have no place on a criminal DB.

Mental illness isn't just a binary / 0-1 situation. So, before you get to putting names on a list, you've also got to consider the degrees of illness and whether their illness has been cured. Maybe just start with NGRI's & other involuntarily institutionalised people and go from there?
