CNN: GOP Rolls Back Obama Social Security Gun Ban

EXCERPT:

MATTINGLY: "It's important for context purposes to kind of lay out what actually happened. The Senate and the House as controlled by Republicans actually have a mechanism to roll back Obama era regulations going back — at least according to Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell — about six months. They started to use this mechanism only used once before in history to start cracking back on those rules. One of those a rule created by the Obama Administration in the final days that required the Social Security Administration to send over the names to the national criminal background check of anybody who is unable to manage their disability payments. The point being, if you have mental illness you shouldn't be able to have a gun. Makes sense, right? Except there were some major objections, lack of due process, and this wasn't just something that was NRA-backed or Republican-backed. This was also ACLU. Several individuals on the left also had problems with the fact that they didn't feel like there was enough due process for this system, this process to actually work."
