If you cannot manage your own affairs due to a psychiatric illness, you should not have a firearm. If you need somebody to take your government cheque for you because you are scared to leave the house, again, you should not have a firearm.
The only thing to be added is that there needs to be a good, fast and quick process that allows people impacted by this law to appeal the decision. You could even accept notes from their doctor saying there is no known risk of violence or self-harm. I'm open to making it easier for those with disabilities, but this strikes me as a pretty sensible regulation overall.
