What about the law abiding mentally ill ? or UNCONVICTED domestic violence suspects? When people say keep guns away from Felons they really mean thats just the start.

I think there should be very minimal restrictions on the right to own guns. Criminal use of guns is already quite illegal and the laws against convicted felons(or misdemeanants in some states) does not keep anyone from possessing a gun. Why would someone who breaks laws stop at breaking that particular type of law? If he is arrested for possession of a gun, it is highly likely that the arrest is for some real crime and he had a gun when he got arrested. Having the gun just adds one more charge. Possession by the insane or incompetent makes some sense because they are not so likely to consciously break particular laws

"UNCONVICTED domestic violence suspects"

They already do that, those with restraining orders (divorces), even without any violence or threats, loose their rights until the order (divorce) is over.
