Does the OP own any firearms?
Republicans are against restricting mentally challenged people from owning guns. Crazy, I know....
The Obama administration made permanent on its way out the door, Social Security beneficiaries with psychiatric disabilities who are assigned a money manager for their disability benefits would be reported to the FBI’s background check database as people ineligible to purchase firearms. House Republicans voted last week to eliminate the rule, and their counterparts in the Senate are expected to follow suit.
In other words, the GOP is OK with bi-polar schizophrenia nut-jobs owning guns, while Democrats.....not so much.
