day in office. The first thing they did was to repeal an Obama era policy prohibiting gun sales to people who had already been deemed mentally incompetent to manage their own finances. Not competent to sign a check = not competent to buy a gun. Sounds logical to me, but not to the GOP.

By the way, it passed by a vote of 57, with FOUR DEMOCRATS voting for it.

Predictably, the four were Manchin (duh!), Tester, Donnelly and Heitkamp.
