FAQ
Mental illness, in and of itself, does not disqualify someone from buying a gun under federal law. However, a mentally ill person who has been involuntarily committed to a psychiatric treatment facility cannot legally buy one, and someone declared by a court to be a ``mental defective'' cannot legally buy one, either.

Sports (target, practical shooting etc) or hunting in England, Scotland and Wales are the primary reasons, but others like needing to put animals down humanly exist. In Northern Ireland in very rare cases you can add self defense. Sport shooting is not limited to the upper classes.
Certain places like schools, government buildings, or establishments that serve alcohol are also off-limits. Furthermore, individuals with felony convictions, restraining orders, or those adjudicated mentally ill are prohibited from carrying firearms.
Being committed to a mental institution or adjudged incompetent or mentally defective. Failing to provide proof of proficiency with a firearm. Having been issued a domestic violence injunction or an injunction against repeat violence that is currently in force. Renouncement of U.S. citizenship.
