You want a slippery slope then you let the psychologists decide what freedoms people have based on the latest pop psych fade on the cover of Psychology Today.

Why not? If we believe someone is a threat to themselves or others, we can and in fact do lock them up on a involuntary psychiatric hold.
If someone has a history of issues with anger management, they shouldn't be allowed to own firearms. If you have a history of mental illness, you shouldn't be allowed to own firearms. This is common sense.
