Something that I haven’t seen anyone address is this...
regarding this section of the bill:
“(2) Mental health terms.—The terms ``adjudicated as a mental defective’’, ``committed to a mental institution’’, and related terms have the meanings given those terms in regulations implementing section 922(g)(4) of title 18, United States Code, as in effect on the date of the enactment of this Act.”
As noted in the comments in the article, the BATFE definition is vague and often changed. What if the BATFE decides to include anyone who requires or has required medicine for oh I don’t know... say ADHD? or other mental stuff that more than 25% of school age kids are getting pumped into their systems right now? God knows the BATFE likes to make up “regulations” that have the force of law more than most people eat meals during the day. What is to stop them from barring anyone who has relied on medicine for any kind of “mental” issue?
This may be a way to prohibit a huge number of people in the future from being able to exercise their rights. And remember, the NRA is pushing for this... WHY?

Consider also - what if the BATFE decides to change their regulations at the last moment before the Act is enacted?
