"In any case arising out of the administration by the Secretary of laws and benefits under this title, a person who is mentally incapacitated, deemed mentally incompetent, or experiencing an extended loss of consciousness shall not be considered adjudicated as a mental defective under subsection (d)(4) or (g)(4) of section 922 of title 18 without the order or finding of a judge, magistrate, or other judicial authority of competent jurisdiction that such person is a danger to himself or herself or others.". So now a magistrate must make determination of "mental defective[ness] from the facts at hand before records can be updated to say the person is not competent enough to safely own a firearm. Objectively this sounds like adding due process where there was none before. That's a little different from the headline of the article which suggests that mentally unstable veterans previously unable to buy guns can now nip on down to the nearest firearms dealer and buy their weapon of choice. The headline also suggests (to me) a context of "now they can go shoot everyone up!" But the actual concern is around suicide. The article does cover this (sort-of objectively [1]), but I'm surprised and offput by such clickbait headlines from NPR. [1] In that sort-of objective way that doesn't involve directly criticizing, yet still comes across as subtly opinionated based on the ordering of content and quotes.
