"The US President quietly signed a bill which would roll back an Obama-era regulation demanding gun checks for people with mental illnesses in February this year.

The law, which was first finalised in December, aimed to add people receiving Social Security checks for mental illnesses and people deemed unfit to handle their own financial affairs to the national background check database."

 

I don't think that's the issue represented. The bill would prevent someone who may be homicidal or scizophrenic from obtaining a dangerous weapon. What would we lose by not allowing the mentioned people from owninf a firearm?

My other recent reply to Hiku could be a good response to this. 

What if we implemented universal background checks and updated our gun laws to prevent discrimination? I feel that would check off your (justified) causes for concern
