The NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007 has a history going back
to the 107th Congress. As enacted in 2007, it does appear to provide
some relief for veterans who have been reported to NICS by the VA but
not adjudged to be mentally ill. The bill requires "government
agencies" to limit their reporting to adjudicated cases of illness.
It also provides for removal of disability for several reasons.

This may allow you or anyone who has been reported to NICS by the VA
to reopen their case. If you were not adjudged by a court to be
incompetent or have since had the disability removed by treatment or
have since been adjudged to no longer suffer from the disability, you
should be able to have the record of the disability removed from NICS
records.

Unfortunately, this bill appears to do nothing for regular citizens
victimized by unfair reporting and actually strengthens the reporting
requirements.

In any event, other areas of concern beyond gun rights still remain a
growing problem. The result of a "Mental health history" continues to
be a lifetime disability that removes certain due process rights and
confers a stigmatism worse than a criminal record.

Shrinks operate on a type of cult mentality. To question the
authority or judgment of an "ordained" shrink is in and of itself seen
as mental illness. The "faith" of the mental health profession
contains ritualistic practices and a "magic" language beyond the
understanding of mere "unordained" followers (patients). Failure is
always the fault of an unfaithful, disobedient follower who needs
further "treatment" (at $250 per hour) while any good in the life of a
follower is the result of brilliant treatment by the shrink.

Hope the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007 brings you relief
from the cult of psychiatry. Try to stay away from shrinks in the
future.
