Well, evidently this law doesn't actually change the definition of "mentally ill", but rather simply clarifies the documents required to show whether someone is mentally ill.
The current law, 18 USC § 922 bars selling a gun to anyone "who has been adjudicated as a mental defective or who has been committed to a mental institution."

"..who has been committed to a mental institution" Upper income therapy loving leftists, their kids. Lots of lower income drug/alcohol professional victims. Disarm the left. Perfect.

I wonder if and how they check this at the local high school gun and drug emporium.

"The current law, 18 USC § 922 bars selling a gun to anyone "who has been adjudicated as a mental defective or who has been committed to a mental institution."The committment must be involuntary. Voluntary committment don't count.
