Band-aid
Seems ATF has revised 4473 regarding mentally defective. No doubt due to the VA Tech shooting. Notice changes:
Section A
Question 11.f. The revised question reads as follows:
“Have you ever been adjudicated mentally defective (which includes a determination by a court, board, commission, or other lawful authority that you are a danger to yourself or to others or are incompetent to manage your own affairs) OR have you ever been committed to a mental institution?”
Definitions
Both “Adjudicated as a Mental Defective” and “Committed to a Mental Institution” as defined in 27 CFR 478.11 were added to the Definitions section,
The definition of “Misdemeanor Climes of Domestic Violence” was revised to include “tribal” offenses committed under “tribal law” in order to incorporate the provisions of the Violence Against Women Act and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005 (P. L. 109-162).
The notice of the clarification was covered before.
