I could only see an argument for it being justified if the person in question is prevented from functioning safely outside of a mental ward but even then it’s questionable as they’re both a minority among the mentally ill and I don’t imagine they’re given guns anyway.
Plus under an Orwellian scenario the government could start ruling off people from owning a gun by having alleged mental illnesses like ADHD (that is extremely overrated anyway).
