Its often argued that the American murder rate is high because guns are more available here than in other countries. Democrats want to confiscate all guns, which is a dumb idea because only the law-abiding citizens would turn in their guns and the bad guys would be the only ones left armed. The Republicans walk the NRA line and refuse even limited restrictions.
I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With todays internet technology we should be able to tell within 72 hours if a potential gun owner has a record.
The Rats are smart enough to know that if they can get Trump to buckle under on guns he is a one term president. It would appear many GOP in the Senate and House agree and are on board.
This is how Trump separates himself from his base.
Hint: I don't think his answer will satisfy you.
Note: Just F.O. if you plan to hit on me for the pronoun.
Donald Jr. is the pro-gun member of the family, not President Trump.
Let's get wise. Let this shit pass. Until Trump signs a piece of shit legislation, let's ignore this crap.
If President Trump passes any kind of gun control on any level especially red flag laws he will not be reelected. It matters not how bad the alternatives are. If we cant maintain liberty under Trump then we cant fix the broken republic by voting. He should not even be threatening gun control. Worse yet is this notion of tying infringement of the second amendment in exchange for border security. Sorry no thank you. Secure the damn border , I dont care how you do it but Americans should not give up our rights to get the government to do one of the few jobs its supposed to do. Personally my patience is growing thin with the President on this issue. He should know better.
He should take the non PC route and push Constitutional Carry.
If we allow ANY gun control type legislation to go through, I guarantee that gun violence/mass shooting will increase. These problem exist right now because the left supports and empowers them. They are the foundational incidents that create more impetus for more gun control, until the goal of total confiscation is reached. Passing gun control legislation will appear to be ‘blood in the water’ and that we are weakening and they are winning. This is a winning strategy for the socialist/communist in their mind, at least. And it will continue and increase if we allow this to happen.
