Re: Graham introduces background check bill with NRA backing

I personally like seeing the NRA take a stance on something like this which will positively sway opinion our way. We need all the support we can get, and a hard line in the sand won't do it.
(36)(A) Subject to subparagraph (B), the term ‘has been adjudicated mentally incompetent or has been committed to a psychiatric hospital’, with respect to a person—

‘‘(i) means the person is the subject of an order or finding by a judicial officer, court, board, commission, or other adjudicative body
As has been mentioned, this line provides some check and balance which IMO makes this a good bill. As good as it can be anyways. I too would love to say all or nothing but its unrealistic. That and I know I don't want to be the one to run in to a schizo with a gun under his shirt, I bet most others wouldn't either. If this bill gets states to start proper reporting then I say great!
(ii) an order or finding that is no longer applicable because a judicial officer, court, board, commission, or other adjudicative body has found that the person who is the subject of the order or finding
This section which describes how said adjudication can be reversed further shows the opportunities a person has from this bill to get their rights back. I fully support the view that people can be treated and get better from some mental issues (some) and putting the power back to the courts gives opportunity for them to show this. Are the courts perfect? No, but its a lot better than letting a doctor decide.
