I am against gun controll alws but I believe felons should not be able to purchase weapons and anyone who has ever been admitted to a mental hospital should not.
Sometimes people see a psychiatrist for marriage problems, stress, drug addiction etc. I dont think any of those are dangerous to a gun owner, if they are insane, have suicidal tendancies etc than they should NOT be allowed to purchase a weapon.

You need to narrow it down a little.
If I see a pyschiatrist for grief counselling after a family membe dies, you're saying that disqualifies me from owning a gun?

That would be a violation of the doctor patient confidentiality. It would be a complete waste of time since there is no federal registration of firearms or wack jobs for that matter.

What do you mean by mental health history? Lots of people have visited a psychiatrist at one time or another. Depression is VERY common in the American population. For example, I have seen a doctor for depression, does that make me mentally unstable and likely to blow someone's head off?
