Two clips from this afternoon’s unusual, sometimes riveting confab between Trump and Pence and shooting victims, some from Stoneman Douglas High School. It’s not often POTUS gets some respect from the media, particularly when the topic involves guns, but lo and behold:

That and that the state of Maryland “proved” that you can take away people’s rifles and still have the Second Amendment, or some such thing.....

Australia took the guns people no longer wanted and gave those people money.

The people who wanted their guns greased them up and buried them.

Guns are easy to make. They are never going away.

Ammunition is tougher to make, but who would know if some guy who bought 10,000 rounds fired off 9,000 or 1,000?

Junior needs to behave and be nice to his peers so they won’t want to shoot him.

Imagine kids being nice to each other. Is that too much to ask?

And home invasions and robberies went up.
Extrapolating from a small homogenous society to the U.S. would lead you to buy more guns.

Aussies defend themselves from home invasions with “long stabby things”, “swordy things”, “Olympic torches”, and “steel baseball bats.” Such fololhardiness is beyond my comprehension. Aussie Men will be Aussie women and Aussie women will use bats.

Every comment from one of the attendees should be tweeted, followed by a well reasoned response...the country would then be reeducated...don’t miss this opportunity...

Or, a speech by PDJT and answer each question that way, educated on the 2nd amendment...

If a totalitarian government comes to power in Australia, they would be saved by the U.S., but there’s no other country to save the U.S., or anybody else, if a totalitarian government comes to power in the U.S..

Hitler took all the guns from the Jews. How’d that work out?

I am certain that Obama would have been just as dignified and respectful as DJT, had he met with a group of people who had to use a firearm to save their lives.

(long, sarcastic pause...)

Trump is astonishingly unlike his previous three predecessors.

Praying hard to God for our President Trump to receive wisdom and strength.

we should also pray to God for these kids to receive the guidance of God and wise too. How can so many kids be so ‘mislead’? Yes, I know how. Lib/commie brainwashing teachers and parents. All those drugs they have them all on has depleted brain cells. Pray they finally see how those prescribed drugs, etc. is effecting them along with recovering their God given hormones.

I would like to add, it appears ‘we’ should start taking to the streets and organizing voter registrations, etc. ASAP too.

How many of you kids have used illegal recreational drugs?

Isn’t there some sort of ban on that stuff?

Doesn’t the government try to take it away from people?

Yup, they can discuss it all they want, it's not going to change our Constitutional stance.

How long now before there’s a mass shooting at some school in Australia?

You know how it goes.

Say something bad and it happens and say something good and it goes away.

Ironic how when people start bragging on something, the reason for the bragging often comes to an end.
