I mean, there are states that will deny someone a firearms license if they have been to a mental facility within a certain period of time. Even after that amount of time is up, you have to take a psych eval before being able to reapply for the license. So, the way I see it, what I'm saying isn't too far off from being implemented.
Yeah, it's not impossible, nor necessarily all that difficult. States just need to make it somebody's job, and set up a system that funnels them the information about troubled people, and gives them the resources and authority to act on it.
