Yes - legally, and for much of the country, culturally.
The right to bear arms is on par with the freedom of speech or religion. In short, if the justification would be insufficient to warrant ordering them to cease political speech or preventing them from worshipping as they choose, then it's insufficient for denying them the right to arms.
> I would think that even the slightest hint of incapacitation should be enough for someone to be denied a gun.
It's just the opposite here; stripping someone of their right to possess firearms is an extreme measure.
