The important thing is that if people are addicted to drugs, legal or not, or alcoholics, if they seek treatment, their guns should be taken away.

You need to seek treatment for delusions about how our individual rights are to be protected..

That was sarcastic. I know, I should use the tag, but given the rest of the post I thought it was obvious.

That's the law in Illinois. If you're a LEO, the police union would have people on it immediately, so the issue would probably be resolved before the State Police knew about it but, yes, at least one state employee I posted about a year or so ago, required to carry a firearm on the job, lost her job over this issue. If my memory is right, she worked on tax fraud, and entered alcohol rehab.

If you're a citizen, no guns till you satisfy the state that you're not a threat.

BTW, the basis of this law, which has been on the books for 30 or 35 years, is that truely "crazy people" shouldn't have guns. There's some validity to that. In practice, like most gun laws, that palitable idea morphs into no one who has been admitted to a mental health facility, for anything, can have a gun.
