    Yer right, mass shootings by mentally unstable nothing to do with Trumpy!

    You allow mentally unstable people to have guns then you can bet there will be increased levels of gun violence....Mr President!

    Trump made it easier for the mentally ill to get guns when he rolled back Obama regulationIn 2017, Trump quietly rolled back an Obama-era regulation that made it harder for people with mental illness to buy guns.

    "
    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.And it came after the House and Senate, both of which were Republican-controlled at the time, passed a bill, H.J. Res 40, which revoked the Obama-era regulation. The bill was sponsored by Rep. Sam Johnson, a Texas Republican who retired at the end of 2018.Pressed by NBC News why Trump nullified the rule, White House spokesman Judd Deere said Tuesday: “This was a wide-ranging regulation promulgated in the 11th hour of the previous administration that included all kinds of people with disabilities who are more than capable of owning a firearm. The rule went too far.”"
