(135,844 posts)The rule, which was finalized in December, added people receiving Social Security checks for mental illnesses and people deemed unfit to handle their own financial affairs to the national background check database.
Had the rule fully taken effect, the Obama administration predicted it would have added about 75,000 names to that database.
President Barack Obama recommended the now-nullified regulation in a 2013 memo following the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, which left 20 first graders and six others dead. The measure sought to block some people with severe mental health problems from buying guns.

(14,961 posts)I was watching his speech live. "And God blesh the United Shates of Amurica", LOL the whole incident was too funny.
Chris Hayes thing 1 and thing 2 segments are the best. I love how he showed, how he attempts to correct himself, like no one will notice.

(51,608 posts)Pray, thoughts,...mental illness is the problem (not guns), people are to blame for not alerting authorities about someone with odd behavior, etc.
The news stations should show Obama delivering his sincere, grieving addresses after shooting while he was the real, elected president right after the fucking moron speaks. Show the contrast. Visuals are strong and emotional.
