Kids are SWATing people and getting them killed.  All for nothing, because they got angry at another person online and made up a dangerous 911 story.

A relative "baker-acting" someone doesn't just instantly make that person a candidate for gun ownership denial. 

Law enforcement must intervene and convince the court of danger. 

(edit:  law enforcement could in fact take a weapon from an individual being involuntarily Baker Acted for 72 hours if the officer deems that action appropriate. To keep the weapon any longer requires court approval.)

If you are getting baker acted, which is for suidcidal or homicidal ideation, then by definition law enforcement is trying to convince the court that you are a danger to yourself or others. I am pretty sure your guns are going away.

Don't forget the marchman act as well, but that one is 3 pages instead of 1, cops prefer the baker. Its not hard for police to baker act people at all.

Your perspective is so skewed I’d need to catch a rocket to Saturn to begin deciding where to start explaining this to you.

All a person has to do is avoid being in a situation wherein a member of law enforcement, and subsequently a court of law are convinced you are a danger to yourself or others.  Is that too much to ask of a person owning firearms?  Of anyone?

I have no idea what these interviews you're going on about are.

The cops have to determine whether they think you are a threat to yourself or others before dragging you off. If your intoxicated, your probably going to spend a night in the ward. A common example would be someone jumping in the street in front of traffic, especially if the person is known to law enforcement, they are going to the psych center.
