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."

There were already laws to keep him from having a gun. they were not followed.

Of course he should have been allowed to have a gun. ...but I and my American brothers and sisters should all be allowed to openly carry without nanny-state infringement so that we could shoot his a$$ dead the minute he first pulled his piece.
