David Sarti, an honorably discharged Air Force veteran and from Lebanon, Tennessee, was declared “mentally incompetent” and had his firearms confiscated by the state government after appearing on the National Geographic Channel’s program “Doomsday Preppers.” This was done on the pretext that Sarti, who had sought treatment following what he thought might have been a heart attack in late 2011, was supposedly a suicide risk.

Sarti underwent a series of tests at a heart clinic in November 2011. It wasn’t until January 16 – after Sarti had been featured in the cable program – that he had a follow-up visit.

Olivier, suggested an invasive procedure involving the insertion of a tracheal breathing tube.

“I said, `why not let me pass on if you’re thinking of putting tubes and holes in me?’” Sarti recalls. “I don’t want to do that.” The discussion turned to the subject of suicide. “I told him I can’t do suicide, because I’m a Christian,” Sarti explains.
