The House on Thursday voted to undo an Obama-era rule blocking certain people from buying guns.
The resolution of disapproval passed 235-180. Under the Congressional Review Act, lawmakers can negate regulations if a joint resolution passes both chambers. However, it requires the president’s signature. While Obama was still president, Republicans needed a veto-proof majority to overturn any of his administration’s regulations.
The rule, approved in the wake of the 2012 massacre of kindergartners in Newtown, Conn., expanded whose names must automatically be entered into the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, thereby preventing them from buying a gun.
Anyone with a mental disability receiving Social Security Administration benefits and requiring third-party assistance with their finances is barred from purchasing firearms. If the Senate approves the resolution and President Trump signs it, that will no longer be the case.
The resolution’s sponsor, Rep. Sam Johnson, R-Texas, said the rule unfairly denies Americans’ with disabilities Second Amendment Rights. “This is wrong,” he stated. “Social Security has no business stripping people of their Constitutional rights. We need to protect the rights of all Americans, including individuals with disabilities.” The National Rifle Association’s legislative arm hailed the resolution’s passage. “The Obama administration’s last-minute, back-door gun grab would have stripped law-abiding Americans of their Second Amendment rights without due process,” stated Cox, the group’s executive director. The NRA and others who support rolling back the rule say it does not give affected recipients a fair chance to appeal being entered into the database.
Also from the Washington Examiner
It’s as if certain members of the media are in a race to see who can report the most hilariously wrong thing about the Trump presidency.
02/02/17 6:35 PM
“This ill-conceived action stripped some of the most vulnerable Americans of their right to keep and bear arms without due process,” Cox stated.
