Senate Staffer Indicates Gun Control Dead amid Impeachment Focus
breitbart.com ^ | 9/25/2019 | AWR Hawkins

An unnamed Senate staffer told the Washington Beacon’s Stephen Gutowski that gun control legislation is dead for now, as “the impeachment inquiry” is looming.

The universal background checks, “assault weapons” ban, and other gun controls that were front and center and presented as critical for public safety are now back-burner items.

Gutowski tweeted:

I doubt PDJT was serious about the gun control garbage. He just made sure its in the news so he had something for the Dummycraps to hang on to just in case. He now uses this to screw them over due to the impeachment nonsense.

Think about this.....Dems are effectively saying that all their talking points - the safety of American citizens and the scourge of gun violence and all the murders and mass shootings and mayhem and blood in the streets and the evil NRA blah blah blah -

- Aren't as important as the President's talk with a foreign leader.

Even if Trump did what they say he did, it doesn't change this "horror" bearing down on America.

What they are REALLY saying, is that they're willing to "sacrifice American's lives" in order to impeach the President.

Don’t worry, once the Rats have another bad week, another MK Ultra asset will be loosed, and gun control will be back on again.

He was asked about Pelosi just now. He put the onus of killing “gun safety” on her. I like this strategy. This puts a perceived cost to the left for this lunacy. Who knows if Trump was serious about it or not. I doubt he was, hopefully the left thinks he was.

Imagine if Establishment Republicans and Democrats worked as hard to assist our President in making America even Greater. What a Wonderful World it would be.

****

He knows that if he goes thru with this, he loses the election from his base. Just like poker, he hides his cards very well.

Anyone who cannot state a standard set of gun safety rules (esp Cooper’s Four Rules) has no business discussing “gun safety” legislation.

get rid of all the illegal “gun control” laws and regs and
transfer the nice aTf staff to doing something useful and constitutional for America, such as building our defense wall

In before the stampede of Freepers who are rushing to apologize for their stupid ass comments about how President Trump was going to abandon the Second Amendment and betray all patriotic Americans.
