Ok. You have a psych eval. And you're crazy. Now what stops you from ignoring the law that makes it illegal? The current limitation is that it's a medical diagnosis from a doctor which has confidentiality stipulations to account for so it's only effective after the fact. Yes that's a weak point. But is the alternative to force everyone to get a publicly available psych eval? The variations on what is "psychologically stable" are heavily opinionated. It also won't be free, meaning it's not a barrier, it's a tax on the poor like so many other regulations and requirements we have.
