Ok, on the one hand this is a bunch of B.S., but on the other we just had my MIL deemed mentally unfit and had her committed. She didn't own a gun, but if she did we would have used this in a heartbeat to take it away from her, she was that unstable. My BIL went as far as to disable her car so she couldn't drive until we could finally get her the help she needed.

This is a terribly slippery slope, but I believe there are certainly cases where it would do a heck of a lot of good, then again I can see it being abused far too often by activist Dr's too. Maybe if they had to have a consensus of close family members also to be able to do it, that would certainly alleviate a few fears I think.

I think the key is to know your GP doctor. If your doctor is affiliated with one of these liberal groups that thinks they can limit your rights, then it is time to get a new doctor. Let the looney left be his patients, not you.

Our ancestors had lockable attic rooms for a reason. ;)

You did what you did as a Family. This wasn't a gooberment sponsored intrusion. Any responsible Family would do the same. The irresponsible amongst US bring US the Columbine's and the VTech's. I'd expect my Family to dis-arm me should I someday go flaky. Wait a minute, knock at the door... Blackbird.
