Fun fact! If you’ve ever been involuntarily committed to like a psychiatric hospital you’re barred by Federal law from owning firearms! Some kinds of emergency and temporary holds are okay, but yeah because my wife had technically gotten involuntarily committed years ago before we met because she couldn’t make it to the hospital safely for it to be voluntary she can’t have them at all and it’s unclear if I’d be able to with my own history of mental health issues
Because apparently people don’t learn the laws like they should before they spout off. Like it’s illegal to own or purchase a firearm if you’re a convicted domestic abuser. Now enforcement, we can talk how lax that might be.

This does make sense, so I’m confused why it’s actually law. I thought common sense gun laws were non existent in the USA?!
