Purchasing weapons after commitment?

Question:

I've been hospitalized, voluntarily, twice at a VA mental health ward. I've been medicated ever since for depression and anxiety. Am I able to purchase firearms?

Jim's Reply:

No, you are not allowed to purchase or own weapons. A person who has been committed to an institution for treatment whether voluntarily or involuntarily is not allowed to own firearms. Click here   and then here for more information.
