Fake News: NBC Claims Trump Revokes Gun Background Checks for Mentally Ill
Breitbart ^ | 2 Mar 2017 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 03/02/2017 2:54:30 PM PST by detective

On Tuesday, President Trump signed the repeal of Barack Obama’s gun ban for Social Security recipients. On Thursday, NBC News reported that Trump had signed a repeal of “gun checks for people with mental illness.”

This is Fake News 101, inasmuch as it takes Trump’s commitment to defend the Second Amendment and reports it as something that endangers the American people by allowing mentally ill persons to acquire guns.

Sounds like more dems would be allowed to get guns, which would be a bad thing.

It makes sense to disarm the mentally ill.
The problem with the Obama’s decree in doing so is that it failed to _adjudicate_ them as such, stripping people of rights on a bureaucratic whim with no actual legal establishment of the condition.

NBC News: At the gun shop are two lines.
The "normal" people line where you have to fill out a form and get approved before you buy a firearm.
And the mentally ill line where they sell you anything you want no questions asked.

And they ask us why we don't believe them.

This really burns me up.

My wife helps the battleaxe with her finances, but we're both glad she has a weapon in the house and knows how to use it.

The Dems would have her be defenseless.

The nonviolent mentally ill can benefit from self defense along with everyone else. As for the rest of the mentally ill, citizens in a free society are deprived of their rights based on what they have done (can include thrests or plots), rather than what some shrink alleges they might do.

And when Obama let the crazies from Syria come in, the media never said “Obama lets deranged muslims in”.

But racism is ok when it fits the democrat agenda.

...It makes sense to disarm the mentally ill...

And it makes no sense to paint with such a broad brush to include SS recipients who ask their kids or anyone else to handle their finances or checkbook simply for reasons of convenience.

The amount of fakenews coming from the media has gone beyond fakenews and should be considered conspiracy to commit sedition.

I’m pretty sure they don’t check to see if you’re a Democrat when you go to buy a gun.

Make sure to tip your waitresses.

So now NBC employees can exercise their Second Amendment rights, too.

Maybe Sessions will capitulate on this, too, and recuse himself from enforcing the 2nd Amendment. Since that would please Democrats, I suspect that’s Sessions’ next move.
