Yes, but the real catalyst was Dr. Spock. This society is sick and people’s slathering following of this idiot has put us that way.

We already have strong background checks. We don’t need any more gun control of any kind.

Background checks? Will everyone now be considered INSANE till proven sane?

And who will certify the checkers as sane?

Yup. Treat your children as equals. No more spankings.

Snowballed to today

The leftists will overreach, as they always do. And the Senate will block anything unconstitutional. POTUS is just being smart politically, he knows better than to alienate his base.

“...in what authorities said appeared to be a racially-motivated hate crime...”

Bull shit. What, was he checking each persons ethnicity before shooting them? Hell no...he was shooting indiscriminately.

I hope it’s just rhetoric, because I don’t want him caving but there are no other good options for next election cycle.

The leftist have Graham and Crenshaw for cover, do not bet your farm the the Senate will not pass something. If it includes Red Flag laws and Trump signs it, I am done with him. I suspect he has painted himself in a corner on this now and will be forced to sign whatever they send him. So my second cousin who lives 1500 miles from me can call the Feds and claim I am a threat to myself and others and I have guns. The Sheriffs show-up and try to take them. Similar $hit has already happened in States with those laws. Trump better be careful, God, Family and Guns come before voting for him.

".... IOW, guns are NOT the issue....

Guns are only an issue because the democRATS want to ban guns and confiscate them from all law-abiding citizens.

Guns are not the issue in these mass shootings. It's the mental illness of the perpetrators.

And I might add, racism is not the issue either. That's another red herring the Left throws out there to be the blame for everything nowadays.

I got hit on this on another thread. I apologize. I refuse to use the term “assault” rifle. I use MSR, modern sporting rifle. The AR platforms and AK platforms are modern rifles as opposed to my Browning 30.06. After every war rifle tech has improved, MSRs are just another stage in the evolution of rifles.

I’m hoping you are correct.The democrats/communists are tap dancing on the coffins, like they always do after a tragedy, and want to punish everyone who had nothing to do with it.

Recently, a few states have mandated signs saying, “In God we trust”, in all schools. Maybe this is the beginning of a trend that will begin lifting America out of its current evil place.
