Some counties in NY automatically take your firearms if you seek mental help. Nassau county is one of them.

Agree or disagree, this will keep x military or anyone with a firearm from seeking mental help.

Any kind of help? California is pretty heavy on this sort of thing and you have to be 5150'd - that's an involuntary mental health hold. You are judged to be a threat to yourself or others and are held in an institution for a brief period.

If you go see a therapist or start taking anti-depressants, they don't care, keep your guns.

So it's about federal law not something about Florida itself. Apart from it being illegal on a state level I assume and thus the federal conviction applies and thus felon = no gun rights anymore.

AFAIK this doesn't happen in California. But with it being a federal crime it's always possible.
