Public Law No: 115-8 (02/28/2017)

 

This joint resolution nullifies the “Implementation of the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007” rule finalized by the Social Security Administration on December 19, 2016. The rule implements a plan to provide to the National Instant Criminal History Background Check System the name of an individual who meets certain criteria, including that benefit payments are made through a representative payee because the individual is determined to be mentally incapable of managing them. (Current law prohibits firearm sale or transfer to and purchase or possession by a person who has been adjudicated as a mental defective.)

I don't support the idea of creating a class of people whom we call 'mentally ill' and then cracking down on their liberties. Trump was right to repeal the bill.

 

a bill supported by the aclu and was universally viewed as the right move. vox's journalism is as yellow as their logo.

The ACLU also fights for the rights for Nazis to hold rallys

LMAO

 

What the fuck are you rambling about? You're saying a law that blocks the mentally ill from buying guns magically starves them?

 

So because it wouldn't have stopped this one specific shooting, you think the mentally ill should be able to buy assault rifles?

 

Should mentally ill people have fewer rights than normal people?

 

Between this, Yemen, Charlottesville, and Puerto Rico, Trump has so much blood on his hands.

BUT MUH OBUMMER!!11!!!!!

lolololol

 

You mean sign a bill that strengthens a constitutional right?
