AGDee, yes, the proposal is to build a centralized database of qualifying mental health records run by the FBI Criminal Justice Services Division out of the facility in Clarksville, WV which is the repository of the crime information used to conduct firearms purchase background checks.

As you pointed out, I don't know if they will be able to alter the privacy rights of individuals. Psycho murderers roaming free is one of the prices we pay to live in a free society. By our Constitution we are innocent until proven guilty, so we cannot lock people up for something that they might do wrong in the future. We must wait until a crime, including a mass murder, is committed. How much freedom are we willing to surrender?

DENVER (Reuters) - A Colorado judge ruled on Thursday that accused theater gunman James Holmes will be tethered to the courtroom floor by a cable for security reasons during his murder trial, but denied a defense request to sequester the jury.

This is pretty amazing ... I can't imagine. I enjoyed being on a jury the only time I served on one; but this is one jury that I would not like to be on.
