In USA, If you have been committed to a mental hospital can you still buy a gun? If you live in the USA obv?

[Vibe]

You could definitely buy one in a private sale.
I think federally you can’t buy a gun if you’ve been committed or are considered mentally defected.

Only like 20 states have private sale background check laws any other state you could buy one in a private sale still.

I think you have to take some sort of test to prove yourself sane before you can buy one. Not exactly sure though.

I guess, based off the grammar I'm pretty sure he didn't mean that in depth and per state laws. Either way, a little google research will find you your answer.

Little google search could find you most answers should no one ever ask questions on forums then?

There are things that are seeking opinions and facts, general discussion forums should rarely be used for the latter imo. There is so much information at your fingertips that I personally only use sub-forums such as lounge for opinionated responses that relate to a demographic I most relate to.

I only use forums to seek something like the OP if I cannot find it after searching. To each their own and it is not against the rules, and I guess, nonetheless it did start a conversation.

I just answered this for you in that other thread.

Possession of a firearm by the mentally ill is regulated by both state and federal laws.

Federal Law
Under 18 U.S.C. § 922(d), it is unlawful for any person to sell or otherwise dispose of any firearm or ammunition to any person knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that such person “has been adjudicated as a mental defective or has been committed to any mental institution.”

Under federal law, a person can be tallied in a database and barred from purchasing or possessing a firearm due to a mental illness under two conditions: if he is involuntarily committed to a mental hospital, or if a court or government body declares him mentally incompetent.

[Narzi]

I’m sure anyone in USA can obtain one in illegal manner
It is not uncommonly done

Well federal law says marijuana is illegal but its still legal in some states. So is it legal or illegal? And federal law also says age of concsnet is 12 years old. Yet most know it as 16 years old per state laws. So its a bit confusing to me about guns.

Thanks what do i need to buy a gun in a private sale. Dont they have to write me a bill of sale or something? idk

[Geralt]

Wouldn't surprise me if you could, it's USA after all

[Vеrt]

I don’t believe you can purchase one from a store at that point if I’m right. You can always buy a gun privately though

[Nate]

I don't believe you can obtain a gun if you've been in a mental institute

[Yin Yang]

Yeah, a mental institution is a whole other level.
