Here in MS it only takes a few hours to have your lawyer take a request to a judge and have someone in your family declared a threat to themselves and/or others following a sucide attempt or serious threat. Normally occurs to force a depressed adult addict/drunk into treatment while they are in hospital so they cannot sign themselves out the next day. Not sure if this meets the legal definition to be blocked 'forever' from buying a firearm? Within a few months of drying out and seeking support with AA etc these same people often lead normal lives.
I am still having trouble with the VA judge ordering 'out patient' treatment for Cho without any conviction (giving him a record) or having him on weekly probation officer monitoring. I think this is was a weak legal action and still struggle understanding if Cho per the letter of the law was prohibted from buying a firearm.
Took the NRA sticker off my truck yesterday!
