It is this rule enacted by Obama that Trump reversed?

fact-check/index.html

The Obama administration's rule, which took effect two days before Trump's inauguration, restricted people who required help managing government benefits and had a mental impairment from buying guns. That includes those with eating disorders, cognitive impairments and depression. Multiple disability groups, along with the American Civil Liberties Union opposed the regulation.

Are you talking about the rule the ACLU opposed?
