She backed Roe because she understood it killed people - population control of the folks we didn't want.
I don't believe that's true. That doesn't even sound like something she would promote, given what I do know about her.

Dude, she had nothing to do with the written decision. Please learn some history before making such statements. Do you think she's been on SCOTUS since the 1970's? Are you really that unaware?
She fought for Roe. She thought it was about population control. Therefore, whether it was because of that or in spite of that makes no difference.
If you automatically added 75,000 mentally ill people to the list it stands to reason you have made 75,000 metal ill people ineligible to purchase a firearm

So every time the Trump admin proposes a rule they predict will have a desired effect you are going to call it into question now right?
So the senate and the house just voted on a non existent piece of legislation for fun?
No wonder you don't understand how the government works.
You have a serious problem and should be reported to the authorities
Hopefully someone shows these posts to the police and she has her gun license taken away as a danger to others.
Unfortunately Trump lifted the ban on the mentally ill owning guns so psychos like these can wander freely among us
No, Trump Did Not Make It Easier for Mentally Ill People to Buy Guns
None of this is a remotely accurate description of what happened. A year ago, Congress and Trump eliminated a proposed rule that would have included in the federal government gun background database people who received disability payments from Social Security and received assistance to manage their benefits due to mental impairments.
This is a regulation that potentially deprived between 75,000 to 80,000 people of a right based not on what they had done but on the basis of being classified by the government in a certain way. The fact that these people may have these impairments did not inherently mean that they were dangerous to themselves or others and needed to be kept away from guns.
As I noted when the regulation was repealed last March, this rule violated not just the Second Amendment but the Fourth, because it deprived the affected people of a right without due process. The government does have the power to restrict and even deny gun ownership to people, but it has to show that these people have engaged in behavior that makes weapons dangerous in their hands.
That's why the regulation was opposed not just by National Rifle Association (NRA) but by several mental health and disability groups and by the American Civil Liberties Union. Pundits largely ignored the latter groups' opposition to the rule, preferring to play up the power of the NRA and their influence on Republicans to turn the issue into a partisan fight.
