I fully support banning people who are a risk to themselves or others from owning firearms, but only with proven evidence. This is obviously not easy, and would require considerable effort from authorities to follow up with all claims, but at least it is a system with checks and balances.
One other major problem - some psychiatrists are already claiming that the desire to own firearms is a sign of mental illness. Do we trust someone with bias to make those decisions?

please back up that assertion with fact. You started off interesting then fell into that paranoia realm many in the world fall prey to. A statement of "some" so let's then agree mentally ill can have guns is not the most stable fall back.
