1 reason really. A psyciatric test isn't like a blood test... you'd get 1 of 2 results.
1) Unethical psychologists would charge higher rates and claim anyone was sane enough to own a gun. There is no real way to prove that these guys were doing it on purpose.
2) The government would hire the psychologists and you had to go to a government psychologist. This could lead to a "Stamp act" type end around causing prohibition. "No one sane would want to own a gun."'
