Trump Quietly Continues Slashing The Number Of Regulations

[Revmitchell]

President Donald Trump has cut the federal regulatory burden to levels that took the Reagan administration years to achieve, according to a new report.

A report by the libertarian Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) found the Trump administration cut the number of pages in the Federal Register 32 percent in the first nine months of this year. It took former President Ronald Reagan several years to cut that many pages of regulations.

“President Trump compared to his predecessors is—so far—the least regulatory president of all,” CEI’s director of technology studies Clyde Wayne Crews wrotein an updated report on Trump’s deregulatory effort.

Crews reported the Trump administration has also cut the number of new regulations issued this year 18 percent from the end of the Obama administration. Included in that is a 58 percent decrease in “significant” rules that come with a $100 million or greater price tag.

“As we continue to watch the president’s progress on his economic priorities, it’s interesting to compare Trump with previous presidents, namely Ronald Reagan,” Crews wrote. “Under Reagan, both regulations and Federal Register pages dropped more than one-third. So far, Trump has reduced the flow of regulation even more.”

There is a great difference between making a cloud of dust by throwing up sand and making progress. RR made progress. Time will tell. Let us give him space.

One regulation he dropped was a tightened restriction on sales of guns to those with verified mental problems. An old friend of mine has an abusive husband who is on Medicare Mental Disability but can walk into a gun shop in ILL and buy a gun. Do you agree with removing that safeguard?

Show me the exact regulation and wording. Our concern is that it would become too easy to throw that label on people as a means to get rid of guns.

This has already been disproven, unless he is obtaining the gun illegally. Felons, those with domestic abuse in their records, and certain mental illnesses disqualify people from purchasing a gun. It's federal law.

Trump signs bill revoking Obama-era gun checks for mental illness

Trump Signs Bill Revoking Obama-Era Gun Checks for People With Mental Illnesses
by Ali Vitali
Feb 28 2017

President Donald Trump quietly signed a bill into law Tuesday rolling back an Obama-era regulation that made it harder for people with mental illnesses to purchase a gun.

The rule, which was finalized in December, added people receiving Social Security checks for mental illnesses and people deemed unfit to handle their own financial affairs to the national background check database.

Had the rule fully taken effect, the Obama administration predicted it would have added about 75,000 names to that database.

President Barack Obama recommended the now-nullified regulation in a 2013 memo following the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, which left 20 first graders and six others dead. The measure sought to block some people with severe mental health problems from buying guns.

So you feel if someone is on SS they should be lumped in with folks who have actual mental illness ?

You cannot legally buy a gun with a domestic abuse conviction. Please either become more honest or more informed.
