The Republican-led Senate has voted to block an Obama-era regulation that would prevent an estimated 75,000 people with mental disorders from being able to purchase a firearm.

THEY WEREN'T MENTALLY IMPAIRED!
Thank you, reading just what was in the post made me curious and I knew there was more to it (I assume you are correct because the MSM lies)
LOL, honestly in headlines huh?
Thank God this makes great cover for the Trump administration and their plan to kill children, poison the environment, torture animals, and take away social security from old people!
The MSM wouldn’t know the truth if it kicked them in the ass ... oh wait, it did. Last November 8. And they’re still butthurt.
And start a nuclear war, don’t you forget! :-D
Well, some of them might have been Democrats.
It’s so nice to have a House, Senate, and President who are faithful to the Second Amendment.
This is a win for freedom.
Holy cow, now anorexics will be able to continue to buy guns. Mayhem to ensue.
This was the MOST egregious example of federal agencies reaching way beyond their mission or expertise. THANK GOD it's gone!

They were NOT adjudicated mentally incompetent, as 18 U.S.C. § 922 requires!
Well done, you beat me to citing the regulation.
Liberal heads were exploding when this story ran on CBS.
Of course, nobody pointed out that this vote was about lack of due process. Nobody should be deprived of their 2nd Amendment rights by some faceless bureaucracy without adjudication through the law.
I didn’t point it out either, because on those boards it would be like foam cleanup at a rabies convention: pointless and never ending.
