Congress on Wednesday approved the first pro-gun bill of the new GOP-controlled Washington, voting to erase an Obama administration regulation that would have forced Social Security to scour its lists and report some of its beneficiaries to the firearms no-buy list.The Senate approved the bill on a 57-43 vote, after it cleared the House earlier this month.

The wails of despair were soon all over Social Media:

We cannot allow retirees to endanger the lives of thousands of people by allowing them access to guns. Blood will be spilled on restaurants with Early Bird specials and discussions on shuffleboard courts will now end up solved with bullets.

DO IT FOR THE GRANDCHILDREN!
