Trump affirms backing gun ban for those on terror watch list
Washington Examiner ^ | June 18, 2016 | John Siciliano

Posted on 06/18/2016 8:56:11 PM PDT by ConservativeTeen

Donald Trump reaffirmed his stance on restricting individuals on the terror watch list from being able to purchase firearms, despite Republican objections.

"We have to make sure that people that are terrorists or have even an inclination toward terrorism cannot buy weapons, guns," Trump told ABC's White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl in an interview that will air Sunday on "This Week."

‘That and the fact that Ted Cruz fraudulently made his piousness and Christianity a central plank of his campaign.’

Can’t argue with that.

But of course Cruz lost a lot of supporters when he admitted he gave zilch to his home church, and lied about the reason.

Jk.

You deluded loser Cruzer. You think you have found a safe zone to attack Trump and pile on like flies on bull butter.

Where were you when violent communists attacked your fellow FReepers denying us our freedom to assemble? Nowhere. Instead you were worshiping at the shrine of your Dear Leader while he used the occasion to attack Trump. Some defender of the Bill of Rights you are.

Please, someone get Trump better advisors.

It obviously never occurred to him that he and all his supporters would be immediately placed on any such list.

Yawn. Keep attacking those who will vote for Trump relative to Hillary but recognize he is a gun-grabber. Ostrich. Worshipper.

And by the way, gun-grabber: still no substantive response, as I noted.

No, Let’s Roll, according to lodi90 and many others, one may never criticize Trump or even say he needs better advisors. Off to the gulag with those of us who tell the honest truth: Sure, we have to vote for Trump to stop Hillary, but he’s got tons of liberal positions, including this one.

‘[Trump’s] got tons of liberal positions’

A “ton” of liberal positions would make a very long list. I’ve paid very close attention to Trump’s campaign for a year, and I’ve often read his position papers. I have not seen this alleged “ton of liberal positions.” Unless you have a list , it is a smear. Please post the complete list; thank you.

I suspect a lot of us would keep our mouth’s shut if Trump would learn to do the same or at least keep it shut until he could be bothered to educate himself regarding the issue.

Maybe i should better appreciate Trumps understanding of this issue?

You’re too late. We’re on to the games of selfish and unpatriotic Loser Cruzers. You and your candidate stand with violent communists while your fellow FReepers are physically assaulted and have their Constitutional rights violated. That just proves once again that the Cruz cult was never about the Constitution, principle or conservatism.

Seems to happen on Friday and Saturday nights a lot. I suspect liquid courage is involved.

You are getting your panties in a bunch only to attack Trump.

Then how come I got an Action Alert from the NRA on Friday asking me to call my Senators immediately and take up the issue with them?

Such alerts are rare and issued only when action is urgently needed.

If the NRA thought it was that important to defeat the bill, why was Trump supporting it? And why are you so blase' about it?

"Triangulation", eh? That's a rationalization...

You realize that you're a KNOWN cruzer, don't you?

I am and have been for Trump but I don't like this one bit, either. Slippery slope territory, IMO.

I agree. My main problem with the terror watch list is well I hate lists. But the criteria for being put on the list is the big problem. There is no real criteria at this time and if there is its a secret. At a minimum if a terror watch list is going to be maintained the criteria must be specific and transparent. Its a slippery slope denying people their rights if they have not committed a crime.

Personally I think Donald Trump is being forced into making snap decisions in order to win the presidency. He may or may not still feel this way after he has time to think it over.
