President Trump Talks Guns

Why doesn’t Trump say that about the wall?

[vooch]

The funny part about all this; is that we all realize DJT WOULD have charged the shooter and taken him down.

Reminds me of Czar Alexander I chasing down a would be killer and capturing him - all solo

[NutsOnYew]

And we’re gonna do very strong background checks, very strong.

Cruz passed a background check. Know why? Because no one put the truth in the system: The Promise policy didn't allow it.

The funny part about all this; is that we all realize DJT WOULD have charged the shooter and taken him down.

Maybe, but he’s venturing into dangerous territory in two ways; alienating gun owners and disregarding that neither he, the Justice Department, or the ATF can make law.

[MichaelCorleone]

Dear Mr. President, recall the following:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of presidential of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the constitution of the United States”

Shall not be infringed, sir, shall not be infringed.

This but another step in the slippery slope that will not end will for those who love liberty.

Keep in mind that all these people playing around with our rights will themselves have armed protection for life. It was the same with the ACA. They have no skin in the game!

[MayflowerMadam]

“The funny part about all this; is that we all realize DJT WOULD have charged the shooter and taken him down.”

Remember when he was riding in his car and saw a mugging happening on the sidewalk? He had his driver stop, and DJT got out and took on the mugger.

[Sooth2222]

There are cheaper ways to waste ammo than buying a bump-stock.

Google it or search on YouTube -- you can bump-fire a rifle and waste all the ammo you want with a rubber band.

I don't think Trump understands how it works, nor does anyone around him. (Not enough rednecks who never grew up work in the Trump White House!)

(Yes, I'm 66 and I never grew up. I might or might not be a redneck.)

[momincombatboots]

Lol.... they did. How many debt deals with chuck n Nancy with no wall funding? Sounds like kabuki and now guess what. A NY liberal is talking about infringement on 2A. I believe he will get a 2A infringement before every inch of the wall is complete.

[Dr. Pritchett]

Well, I’m sure all the Lib Rats will sing a different tune about Trump once he capitulates on the 2A and his base and shows how “reasonable” he can be. Remember how kind they were to Bush after No Child Left Behind?

[Luircin]

Blah blah blah. After getting proven wrong about your breathless declarations that DJT has betrayed us... what, a dozen times by now, no one cares any more.

Go back to your lover Beck.

[Luircin]

I dunno; looking at his body language, I’m not so sure that he really is into the background check thing.

Seems to me to be realpolitik more than anything. Say something ‘nice’ that a lot of people agree with and a lot of people don’t, and then leave it to the state governments to hash out.

Nothing changes and he gets his chance to look reasonable.

[Luircin]

Why doesn’t Trump say that about the wall?

***

One thing I’ve learned about Trump is that you have to look at what he says, and then look at what he does.

He tends to say something distracting and outrageous that gets a lot of people hot and bothered, and then he works quietly behind the scenes to get what he really wants.

Ultimately, the ‘outrageous’ statement is either dialed back or forgotten, when what he really wanted to get done has already happened.

If you’re that worried, though, YOU do something to change it.

[Luircin]

Remember when that DACA meeting happened and everyone was howling about ‘HE’LL JUST SIGN ANYTHING! BETRAAAAYAAAALLL!’

And then nothing happened, except Trump came out of it looking like the statesman and the Dems came out looking like a bunch of crying children and hypocrites?

[Cobra64]

Like most politicians, Trump has no idea about firearms, furthermore, he should stay out of the weeds on this issue.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

There is talk of raising the age to buy a rifle to 21. I bought ammo at 14, now one has to be 21 to buy that same ammo.I bought my first rifle at 17.
The shooter at Aztec NM was 21.

Re: “Bump stocks. I don’t care if Congress does it or not. I’m writing it out myself, okay?”

Too bad Trump doesn't feel the same passion about DACA.

Trump could have written out DACA 13 months ago.

Here's the Executive Order that would have ended it:

“Based on the exact language in the Immigration Act of 1965, the DACA kids are unlawfully present in the USA. Therefore, I order the Secretary of Homeland Security to remove them.”

Unfortunately, Trump wants to give Amnesty to the DACAs, so he will never “write out” the DACAs.

[Impy]

Do you have the details on that (the Tsar)? I can’t find anything.

My exact thoughts - all of what you said.

Trump (as a negotiator) wanted to use DACA as the critical leverage to get the wall funding, end the VISA lottery and end chain migration.

The corrupt courts ruined his plan, and now it has backfired.

Also, I am totally against "banning" this or that gun accoutrement like a frickin stock. It is ridiculous. We have people who have been thrown into prison (and are still in prison) because they "possessed" a gun magazine that holds too many rounds for whatever corrupt state legislator and Governor decided is the "correct" magazine size.

So a person's life is ruined because they had a stamped piece of sheet metal or plastic with a spring in it.

[MichaelCorleone]

I think he did say he would sign whatever the group, who he repeatedly said he knew and respected, came up with. Even if he didn’t ‘love everything in it’. That’s what made people nervous.

See, some of us are used to DJT saying what he means, and meaning what he says. You know, a no-BS kind of guy.

Frankly, we don’t need another President, we need “The Donald”.
