'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. . .

The National Rifle Association “applauded” Trump’s action. Chris Cox, NRA-ILA executive director, said the move “marks a new era for law-abiding gun owners, as we now have a president who respects and supports our arms.”'>>>

To refresh our recollections, if it's necessary.

1. Do you think there is any chance that this regulation will be brought back?

Especially in light of the Alexandria shooting?

4. Not until the 'next millennium,' imo,

which it's our duty to expedite, starting now, with 2018 and 2020 in mind.

5. Not the way it was.

From wiki,

Once a rule is thus repealed, the CRA also prohibits the reissuing of the rule in substantially the same form or the issuing of a new rule that is substantially the same "unless the reissued or new rule is specifically authorized by a law enacted after the date of the joint resolution disapproving the original rule" (5 U.S. Code § 801(b)(2)).

How to interpret "substantially the same" will be up for the courts.

6. So on a day with 2 mass shootings and a possible third, he does this? Are you kidding?

7. No, not today. FEB 28 2017

Sorry for confusion.

9. I was going to say that would be bad timing!

Although coming from Trump, not surprising in the least!
