Summary: The National Rifle Association (NRA) supports the spirit of the proposed rulemaking to revise the definitions of "adjudicated as a mental defective" and "committed to a mental institution" because the current 1997 definitions are unconstitutional. However, they argue the proposal should be further revised to ensure it does not exceed statutory authority by including mental illness (rather than just intellectual capacity), allowing administrative rather than judicial adjudications, or including outpatient commitments.
