The Senate gave final approval to a measure eliminating a rule to prevent coal mining debris from being dumped into nearby streams, while the House backed a separate resolution doing away with extended background checks for gun purchases by some Social Security recipients with mental disabilities.
The Senate’s 54-45 vote sends the repeal of the stream protection rule to President Donald Trump. The gun measure awaits Senate action.
The White House said Thursday night that Trump supports both measures and is likely to sign them.

wow folks, I never knew keeping coal sludge out the river and guns out the hands of loons were radical ideas.
3:45 AM, It's time for bed. You might want to read the text of these ridiculous legislations before you open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Erasing the Obama legacy, one step at a time. It's like Serve-pro : like it never even happened!
What am I missing,I don't want our streams polluted and I don't want nut cases carrying guns. What's in those regulations that's harmful? In particular what I question is why does coal mining debris have to be dumped into streams,can't it be piled up and covered the same way we do with our trash? If it's in a liquid form then build sediment ponds. Has someone got an answer?
