§ 03
SUMMARY
WHAT THIS CHANGES
This amendment would have required a government report on veterans who committed suicide with a firearm and who were considered mentally incompetent to handle their own affairs. It was intended to study whether reporting these individuals to the national gun background check system might have affected these outcomes.
§ 04
KEY POINTS
