So the solution is never see a psychiatrist. Not enough stigma already on the mentally ill, who are the overwhelming majority of victims of gun crime, not criminals.

If I wanted to purchase a gun, and also wanted to see a mental health professional, well, what do I do?

Seeing a psychiatrist in Illinois in an outpatient setting isn’t quite the same as being admitted to a mental health facility-which is what I was referring to explicitly as a triggering event. Due to the limited number of beds available, admissions are reserved for people who are really in a bad way.
