Oh David, if only you could find the testicular fortitude to actually tell the WHOLE truth, you may one day grow up to be a fine journalist. On the other hand, the entire Main Stream Media is full of liars and sycophants, so perhaps you are fitting right in.
Allow me to tell the "Rest of the Story" that you so conveniently left out. (thank you, Paul Harvey...now he was a great American journalist)
First of all, the so-called law that "expanded mental health considerations for gun background checks" repealed by President Trump was passed by Obama in the very last days of his presidency as little more than a novel form of gun control and an unconstitutional infringement on the Second Amendment.
Under this law, the classifications for what constituted a "mental illness" were entirely arbitrary. For example, some afflictions on the SSA "disorder list" deal with anxiety disorders, fear of large crowds, or a lack of self-esteem.” These 'disorders' have nothing to do with a person being a danger to himself or someone else.
Even the ACLU came out against this law!! "The ‘personal opinion’ of a bureaucrat cannot be the basis for taking away a person’s Second Amendment rights." https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2017/02/20/gun-control-congress-aclu-editorials-debates/98147914/
I'll say it again....EVEN THE FRIGGIN' ACLU OPPOSED THIS LAW!!
The more you try to put down our great President Donald Trump, the more wrong you will find out you are.
#MAGA Baby!
