REMINDER: Trump made it easier for the mentally ill to get guns
Trump made it easier for the mentally ill to get guns
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/president-trump-made-it-easier-mentally-ill-get-guns-when-n1039301
President Donald Trump responded to the El Paso and Dayton mass shootings by insisting Monday that “mental illness pulls the trigger not the gun,” but shortly after taking office he quietly rolled back an Obama-era regulation that would have made it harder for people with mental illness to buy guns.
Trump did so without any fanfare. In fact, the news that Trump had signed the bill was at the bottom of a White House email that alerted the media to other legislation signed by the president.
The M$M will spend every 15 mins for the next two days going how Trump screwed the country by rescinding this common sense Obama era regulation right ?!
