Reply to comment by MissElision in States are letting people ban themselves from owning a gun by greenhousecrtv

That's fair. As long as this remains a voluntary tool and isn't used in a coercive fashion.

Imo, there should also be a voluntary temporary surrender w/mandatory waiting period for return of firearms.

People go through tough times. Might be them, might be someone in their home. They shouldn't be forced to choose between losing their right to own and keep firearms and getting the help they need when they need it.

As far as I understand, this measure in all the states it's used in has no penalty or flag with it. So it wouldn't impact them negatively in the future at all. It's also 100% personal choice so it cannot be forced on someone, merely suggested.

There are many gun ranges that will rent low cost long term storage. I've known many people who have done so when they have someone in the home who can't be around guns.
