Of course I agree that folks with certain mental disorders/defects should not be allowed to purchase or own firearms, but where do you draw the line?  And how do you get around the privacy issue?  Some psychotropic drugs are sometimes used for issues other than psychosis.  Anti-depressants come to mind.  Many chronic pain patients are prescribed these in the long term treatment of the pain even if they exhibit no signs and/or symptoms of depression because they have been proven beneficial. Which brings up the question of should depression which can be mild and situational and short term disallow ownership for the rest of their life, when the depression has been addressed and successfully treated .  Should they be prohibited from ownership?  They may be in a totally different state of mind but having taken them at some point in the past still be in the 'database'.  Some depressed patients may be  threat to society, but certainly not all.  Not all psychotics have had contact with Mental Health professionals so therefore never been entered into a 'database'.  And what Mental Health professional is not going to enter every patient just as a CYA!!



Any measure taken at this point needs to be reasoned and well thought out, exactly the opposite of what we will get unfortunately.
