Sounds like the exception and not the rule. >He was discharged with a diagnosis of “depression, insomnia” and then returned a short time later for a 48-hour stay. The lawsuit says that during that visit, staff erroneously listed him as an “involuntary admission,” triggering the SAFE Act reporting provision. Yeah, since it was an error in this case he shouldn't have had his guns confiscated. If your mental state is at the point where you legitimately need to be committed, however, then I agree with some of the other comments here and taking away your guns is justified. But if you're not feeling well about your job or your sex life or exhibit any general depression symptoms, gun owner or not, a story like this shouldn't dissuade you from scheduling an office visit with a mental health professional. Apples to oranges.
