    He’s rolling back gun regulation?

    So that means we’ll have the right weapons to counter the SS coming door to door to look for “illegals”?

        With deregulation, the FBI probably can’t finish the background check within the required time frame which means the buyer is automatically approved at end of said timeframe IIRC.

        I’m not saying we should deregulate firearms at all, but if we’re doing it we might as well use the second amendment as originally intended

      How come the headline used the noun “rollback” and not the verb “roll back”? It would seem Trump “rollbacked” the legislation, then.
