Obama would have meant it.

Enormous difference.

Given the level of gov’t harassment focused on Trump, you would think he would know better than to encourage more against others.

I believe Tucker is an amid 2a support along with the rest of the Constitution and beside he owns an AR.

I will assume this was another of Trump’s open mouth, insert foot moments. Aside from the fact that nobody is immune to this, Tucker is right to call out Trump.

I watched the video of the meeting and my impression was that Trump was playing with the Democrats in the same way that one uses a laser pointer to play with cats.

The vast majority of mass killings are perpetrated by democrats and or extreme leftists. There is a very logical reason for this. This disaffected and mentally unstable people are attracted to the party that preaches hate, envy, and class hatred. The democrat party is their home.

Tucker took a comment out of context and ignored the real message about the damage done when the mentally ill were turned loose and given the right to deny being committed/treated.

Trump was talking about an extreme situation, not a general principle.

Tucker should know not to take the President literally in such incidents. The President was being a moron, speaking as if there wasn't an opportunity for due process to have occurred in this case. In fact, there was ample opportunity for Nikolas Cruz's guns to be taken—with due process—if only local educators and sheriff departments had properly put public safety ahead of federal funding and political correctness.

Their negligence was palpable, and the President was speaking out of frustration. The matter has been cleared up, and anyone who thinks the President was referring to arbitrarily taking someone's guns away is being disingenuous at best.

Let's be honest—President Trump simply isn't the sharpest tack in the box when it comes to Constitutional nuance. It's patently unconstitutional to deprive any American of Rights without due process, and the President was clearly referring to this kind of incident—when action should have been taken—but wasn't, which he found inexplicable. It's a fact, however, that "due process" wasn't the villain here, as such, the President simply blurted out a factually incorrect sentiment, which he has been corrected on.

This is yet another example of People taking the President literally instead of figuratively. Everyone knows what he meant, despite the misstatement. This should be the one thing that the Left, Right, and Center can all agree on.

Nikolas Cruz had a history of violence, violent threats, and mental problems, and there were countless opportunities to avoid this tragedy—within the constraints of due process. In anyone has blood on their hands here besides Cruz, it's the Democrat crooks in Coward County. They should be held responsible.
