McConnell: “If Trump Can Have Nuclear Codes, the Mentally Ill Can Have Guns”
The Majority Leader fights for fairness against anti-gun hypocrisy
WASHINGTON (S.J. Newman) — House Republicans voted to repeal an Obama-era regulation that bars gun permits to the mentally ill on disability who are declared financially incompetent.
Sen. Mitch McConnell said, “Mentally ill people were blocked from getting guns simply because Democrats cynically raised the bar too high, such as requiring them to be able to distinguish between nickels, quarters, and dimes.”
McConnell said, “It’s rather hypocritical to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally unstable just because they can’t handle their own finances, while six-times bankrupted President Trump is commander-in-chief of the world’s most powerful military.”
