I made the choice to admit myself to the psych ward back in December because I naively thought things would get better. Then I explained in full detail to my psychiatrist about how I've had suicidal thoughts since childhood. Well now on my health chart it's labeled as suicidal thoughts. So now I'll fail a background check for a gun I'm pretty sure. I just want to buy a 44 mag and get this shit over with. I want the back of my skull to be blown open and obliterated.

There are five main ways that loss of gun rights (temporary or permanent) can occur:
Emergency holds
Involuntary civil commitment (inpatient or outpatient)
Voluntary admission (inpatient or outpatient)
Extreme risk protection orders (ERPO)
Diagnosis

This is my current understanding:
Federally prohibitive: involuntary civil commitment to inpatient facility
Varies by state: involuntary outpatient admission, emergency holds, voluntary admission, ERPO, diagnosis

It really depends on the state. Where I live it is easy to buy a gun but a few months ago when I bought my last gun they had a mandatory wait period. I've been able to avoid the dreaded involuntary commitment though, don't ask me how. Hell I have a ccw permit for 38 states.
