Why would we ever agree to that? Who pays for it? The buyer or the government? If the buyer, how much does that add to the cost of the gun? What about lower income people who can barely afford the price of the gun and now can not afford the additional expense? It's okay with you that they now lost their 2A rights? If the government is responsible for it, the feds or states? Federally we're adding to our national debt at an alarming rate. In other words, we're broke and can't afford this. If it's the states, Illinois is in a dire financial situation and can't pay the bills they have. Who do we go to for this certificate? A mental health professional? Who decides whether that professional is qualified? Does that professional need to be approved by the government? If yes, how many professionals will be approved? Will there be a wait list to see one? How long of a wait list? Illinois has used the process of obtaining or renewing a FOID or CC permit to hamper our guns rights with their delays, as they short staffed the department responsible for them and are not processing them in the required time period. We'd be opening the door to similar abuse, as this process will be used by the anti's to deny or delay 2A rights. The questions go on and on. I'll take a pass on this idea.
