The fact that a disturbed 19-year-old kid can easily and legally buy two assault weapons has nothing to do with respect for the Second Amendment. It has only to do with cowardly, irresponsible politicians who are bought and sold by the NRA. It is immoral and insane.

Trump’s first official act when he became president was to repeal constructions that were in place making it harder for people with mental issues to buy guns.

Actually, it's already illegal to buy a firearm if you've been adjudicated as mentally defective in the United States. Or if you have a felony conviction. Or if you're a violent domestic abuser.
That only applied to 70k SS recipients who were placed in NICS system by govt bureaucrats. Not adjudicated with due process. Even the ACLU supported. Get it right.
Im torn on this issue. Making something harder for one group of people is discrimination. It would cause less deaths but you'd be taking away rights from people based on a disability. Is this mentalism/sanism? Assuming people with depression can't not shoot someone with a gun?
