Actually there are databases which has information about the mentally ill, however the NRA lobbied to weaken the background check laws so as to make it harder to access these databases in a timely enough manner so as to make them useful in keeping guns out of the hands of wackos.

Apparently they have no problem with keeping these guys off commercial air flights as long as they are still allowed to buy assault weapons and sniper rifles.
