"According to federal law, individuals cannot buy a gun if a court or other authority has deemed them a 'mental defective' or committed them involuntarily to a mental hospital. Only a handful of states prohibit broader categories of people with mental illness from obtaining a gun...Mental health records are overwhelmingly under-reported to the federal and state databases scanned during a background check. For example, while the majority of states now have laws that require them to submit records to the F.B.I.’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System, known as NICS, there is little enforcement, and the comprehensiveness of those records vary significantly."
