Senate GOP Rebuffs Trump on Gun Control Call
News Max ^ | June 17, 2016

Posted on 06/17/2016 6:09:55 PM PDT by Abiotic

Donald Trump — already the bane of many establishment Republicans — is now in a new battle with the GOP rank-and-file over gun control measures.

The Washington Post reports that Trump's surprise call for congressional action on new gun-control legislation is getting the cold shoulder from his party and likely pit GOP lawmakers against their presumptive presidential nominee.

The new wrinkle comes as Capitol Hill tries to cope with calls for new gun laws in the wake of Sunday's attack in Orlando, in which a gunman with terrorist allegiances killed 49 people and injured 53 at a crowded nightclub.

Sen. Jeff Sessions, an Alabama Republican and Trump supporter, told The Post: "There's nothing wrong with [Trump] trying to energize the discussion on it and work out something that would be healthy and that we can all agree on."

You guys are funny as hell! Anytime someone questions or doubts the holy one you attack, I'm am and never was pro or anti Trump, try and prove it if you can. Trump is a politician through and through and what is scary is the cadre of pro Trump folks, probably you are one, that worship at his altar just like the Obamas legions. I will no doubt vote for Trump because even with my concerns he is 100% better than hitlary.

BUT, that doesn't mean that he is beyond question, I will not go blindly into the night even if you will. Every Time Trump missteps or says something dumb, the Trumpster's come out in full force to attack the press and cover his ass with claims of misquotes or manipulation and tell the rest of us what he really meant to say, as if we are too ignorant to understand plain english for ourselves. You go right ahead with your rah rah rah, I prefer to live in the world of reality.

You can all insult and slam the hell out me now, I have better things to do then argue with sycophants.

What specifically did Trump call for?

Last I saw, he was going to talk to the NRA. That shouldn't be necessary ... Until we hear from Trump and/or the NRA, this is just the leftists at the comPost trying to stir up trouble.

He has remarked that IF there had been people who were armed in the nightclub, then there would have been a lot less carnage.

He then said he would meet with the NRA to discuss guns and the no-fly list.

That’s all.

These are dedicated NeverTrimp deranged and wanting to help Uniparty party and Hillary

They never post anything about Paul LaRaza Ryan or the other Cheap labor express because they support them.

These trolls just trash Trump non stop.

They just flat out lie hoping someone will be fooled by there Uniparty disinformation.

The cure for the problem of bipartisan socialism is the default process, the layoffs of socialist troublemakers and pension haircuts for their older peers. And the end of the default process is in sight.

This tells us what the GOP is all about...money. They are willing to go to the wall for guns, which is great except they do it for the wrong reason; they are addicted to NRA money.

That’s why they will fight for guns but not for American jobs; they are addicted to the open borders money. They will sacrifice Americans jobs and lives at the altar of cheap immigrant labor.

They are all whores!

What is wrong with Trump calling for discussion with NRA regarding banning gun sales to terrorists on the government no fly list?

I do not agree. If the watch list had kept its intended purpose, perhaps, but mothers of crying babies, people with non-pc t-shirts, and others have been added to the list, making it a joke.

You must be right about Trump, so many high profile liberal/leftist/progressives have endorsed him. They say things like, “How can Hillary’s twin be so bad?”

Didn’t uber-liberal Miley Cyrus recently endorse Trump? Iirc, her warm, supportive words were, “Donald Trump is a f_____g nightmare!”

Oh, and don’t forget quintessential liberal Richard Gere’s kind and thoughtful endorsement:

“Trump being president is everyone’s nightmare.”

Last but hardly least, consider the loving endorsement of arch-liberal Susan Sarandon:

“Trump is a drunk uncle at a wedding. He’s made racism normal.”

Yes, liberals sure know how to spot one of their own, don’t they?
