In this State and I think likely most other States, a therapist or other health professional is already required to report any patient who has expressed a clear intent to harm themselves or others. I do not think anybody should lose their gun rights for life without due process. I think there needs to be a better process to weed out those who are truly a threat because of a serious mental health issue......providing they are given due process and adjudicated as being unfit to process firearms. I would hope that such a determination would also result some sort of commitment to mental health facility for a period of time
