Oh sure, a database of the mentally ill is a great idea.........that is, if I woke up in 1930s Germany this morning.

I too am an NRA member who once had a CCW permit, and who still owns (and appreciates) firearms. I am OUTRAGED that an organization that champions freedom---an organization I've supported for years---would call this idea an acceptable option. I think I'm going to let Mr. LaPierre know how some of us "mentally ill" feel about being lumped in with mass murderers, and disenfranchised of our Second Amendment rights.
