As for crazy people not being allowed to have guns...I see a couple issues. One is, what sort of crazy shouldn't have a gun? The other issue being that a person cleared today of not being crazy may well be crazy tomorrow, or in a week, or in a couple years. That's a tough one to plan for.
State by state additional laws vary, but federally, if you've been involuntarily committed to an institution or deemed mentally incompetent by a court, you'll have to go through a whole thing to be able to purchase firearms or ammo legally again. Anyone who sells you a weapon or ammo knowing of this or..in the specific language of the statute, having reasonable cause to believe, would also be committing a crime.
No one plans to be unwell. The only issue with this law, is how weak it is and how haphazardly we enforce it. There's a similar thing going on with domestic violence and shooters. Even when they live in states that mandate confiscations for offenders, the cops have a really strange tendency to let them keep their guns for a whole bunch of reasons I don't think that even -they- think hold water. Frankly, there's a similar thing going on with all of our gun laws. Most of the time in these debates people are "debating" whether or not we should decide to do a thing we're already doing. Whether we could pass a law we've already passed. What answers we have for allegedly novel situations that have been occurring and been dealt with for centuries just in this country. Rest assured, though, that no matter how it all falls playing along to the point of crafting legislation, we won't enforce whatever we decide on. Drives me nuts.
So, anywho...just like a domestic terrorist, the domestic abuser often ends up..basically, practicing until they finally do kill that hostage.
