FIrst and foremost it's putting mental health professionals in an impossible spot. Treating mental illness does not give one a crystal ball into the future of that person or any person for that matter.

Naturally there are extreme cases of folks that should not own weapons and safeguards for those already exist but beyond that the only thing that this can accomplish is to keep people from going to see a Doctor when they really ought to.

It's already a stigma to see a Psychiatrist and now to put that Psychiatrist as your judge and jury also, as it pertains to your rights, is really asking for some major nightmares of epic proportions. Nightmares for the people who will feel they have to suffer silently through whatever it is they may be going through for fear of seeing a doctor. A nightmare for the doctor who will feel he is unable to treat and report on every patient or have his malpractice insurance go even higher or losing his license all together. Finally a nightmare for us all because the Doctors and Patients that really should be being brought together won't be and far more people with far more untreated psychosis' end up going on shooting spree's.
