“Under no pretext"

Rules (Under review):

1. NO BUYING, SELLING OR TRADING of guns or accessories. Take that to Reddit and /r/GunAccessoriesForSale or Armslist.com
1. Censor all personally identifiable information in posts including serial numbers on firearms.
1. Any post or comment advocating illegal action will be removed and the poster warned. A second infraction will result in a ban.
1. Unironically suggesting the SKS as a usable rifle in the 21st Century when there are things like the AK and AR that cost only a bit more might result in a ban, it depends on how we feel.
1. Discussion of hunting is acceptable but please put "CW: hunting" in post titles. Debating the ethicality of hunting is also fine, but keep it civil and don't derail other people's threads.

as it turns out you can not legally own a firearm if youve been involuntarily committed to a mental institution (hexbear.net)

Wait so does that mean it doesn't count if a judge signed off without seeing you? I wish there was an easy way to check because when I was a kid the doctor asked if I would go voluntarily and I said no, so they said ok we got a judge to sign off and I said oh ok I guess I'm going... Not sure what the paperwork was so I don't really know what it counts as.

Probably varies by state, but involuntary commitment is a whole legal process with hearings and judges and a right to testify and all that jazz.

You can look up court records to check. Maybe not in your case cause you were a kid, but if you get involuntarily committed as an adult there will be a court record of that.
