^^^ That's right, just blame Trump! It's all Trump's fault!
WRONG! Hey Mark- you got duped by Fake News (again)
The FACTS: "Congress voted to overturn a last-minute Obama-era regulation that would give the Social Security Administration the power to revoke a person's Second Amendment rights based on whether he receives disability for a mental impairment that keeps him from working, or if he [uses] a representative payee to help manage their benefits."
"The repeal of the Obama-era regulation, "doesn't allow people to buy guns who have been properly adjudicated by a court of law as mentally ill or unstable."
"The Obama-era rule was designed to take away people's rights without due process of law. It would have flagged the names of people who, for example, have an anxiety disorder or depression which keeps them from working, and who, as the SSA puts it, ?need help in managing [their] personal money affairs,'"
Also, it's worth noting that there are already regulations on firearm purchases by persons who have a documented history of mental illness, or who have shown themselves to be a danger.
^^ Mark wants to take away guns from retired military Veterans, because Obama was a gun grabbing PoS. The soscial security administartion should not be involved with gun control, period.
Reporters resurrect bogus narrative that Republicans made it 'easier' for the mentally ill to buy guns
