According to the right-wing the issue is the mentally ill getting guns...something which the Obama administration regulated to prevent and then the Trump administration undid because, you know, everything Obama did was wrong. Am I missing something here, or is it really as absurd as I see it?

Righty - No, this was caused by mental illness.
Obama - I'll sign something to make it harder for the mentally ill to own guns.
Lefty - Yay.
Righty - Boo!
Trump - I'll undo this and make it easier for the mentally ill to get guns!
Lefty - Boo.
Righty - (insert response here)
Seriously folks, if you support Trump you need to stop playing the "mental illness did this" card now, don't you? Am I missing something here?
