“President Trump on Wednesday voiced support for confiscating guns from certain individuals deemed to be dangerous, even if it violates due process rights,” thehill.com reports. ‘I like taking the guns early, like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida … to go to court would have taken a long time,’ Trump said at a meeting with lawmakers on school safety and gun violence. ‘Take the guns first, go through due process second,'” This he said despite . . .
Vice President Pence’s caution on gun confiscation.
Trump was responding to comments from Vice President Pence that families and local law enforcement should have more tools to report potentially dangerous individuals with weapons.
“Allow due process so no one’s rights are trampled, but the ability to go to court, obtain an order and then collect not only the firearms but any weapons,” Pence said.
“Or, Mike, take the firearms first, and then go to court,” Trump responded.
Here are some more choice Presidential quotes from the firearms chin-wag:
“Don’t worry about adding in the bump stock ban, I’ll do that myself — fortunately we are able to handle that without going through Congress.”
“The background chekcs are so important….people are afraid to do background checks because they’re afraid of….somebody. ….I don’t care who’s endorsing you, you’re going to be MORE popular if you do it.”
“It takes so long going to court to get due process – I like taking the guns early — so I like what you’re saying, but take the guns first, go through due process second”
“Some people don’t like the word comprehensive….I like the word comprehensive. I’d rather have a comprehensive bill. Can you merge yours into this bill or would you rather have a Fix NICS bill?”
“It would be really nice to create something that’s beautiful, that works.”
“What surprises me is that nothing has been done for so many years…I don’t understand why this hasn’t happened for the last 20 years…..there is so much commonality between Republicans and Democrats.”
When you realize how often the fedgov’s screw ups are involved in mass shootings, it sure can look that way.

There hasn’t been any question in my mind since the bizzare response to Columbine.

All of you “offer evidence” or “got a link?” trolls should have a union to fight for you when you get figured out and zotted.
The reality here is so obvious that you should be embarrassed to feign such ignorance.
(although you are one of the most ignorant pukes we have here)

Has Trump lost his mind? I am going to “call him in” so we can take HIS gun!!
The MSM has already declared him to be mentally unstable. He has great protection so he doesn’t need a gun. Just sayin.
That is scary.
Unless he is throwing nonsense at the left to placate them until the issue dies down.
This never should have been an issue if the FBI did its job.
Wray has to go.
And here you go screeching for censorship when you're busted for spewing nonsense. You bet I'll ask for a link when you post BS to me. Either be prepared to prove your spew or don't post to me. And, btw, shove your cheap censorship threats where the sun doesn't shine; that is tactic of the left that should make everyone here cringe.
Then you should have faith in the man who has said many things that would have done in any ordinary politician, but yet has been able to accomplish what he has. Stay strong...no weak knees.
Nothing weak about it and faith has nothing to do with it.
Careless talk about subverting due process is damaging. Period.
Of course he does and thank God but does but he wants us to lose our rights because someone “ calls us in”?? that is what he is saying? We need constitutional fundamental rights!! Who is advising him on the law because hwe seems lost. Jeff sessions?? HA!!!
Faith has nothing to do with it? Then, I’m sorry, we will forever differ on that. There was a whole heck of a lot of faith on election night 2016.
I still have that faith. It has nothing to do with criticizing what I see as dangerous and damaging language.
I told you that I don’t do cult of personality. No one is above criticism.
Fair enough...no one is above criticism. You are right. My problem is the pearl clutching with regard to Trump’s opening hand...remember, it’s like poker. And I understand when it has to do with Constitutional protections, it’s very bothersome, but again, look at DACA as an example.
He did great on DACA. He didn’t say anything that degrades respect for the rule of law on that. Something that could wreck the mid-terms for Republicans.
I still think he has done more for the country in one year than any president in history. I’m not a pearl clutcher and neither are a lot of other FReepers who are upset by this.
The pearl clutching Never Trumpers are doing what they do and think they’ve just won a bunch of Trump supporters to their side. Nothing I can do about that but they will be left dangling in the breeze with nothing to show when this dustup is over. Don’t think I’m abandoning him because he made me mad once.

Thanks for your thoughts! Check in to the Psychotropic drugs being given to our school kids. Very sad!

Yes it is. Not necessarily good for the kids. "Easy" way out but significant downside risk.
Public lacks the patience and discipline to deal with it with the attention the issue deserves. "Follow the money."
“Follow the money” Strait to hell! or a third world country. What a joke!
Bless You!
incoherence is not your friend
spot on, but Toomey makes my point that DJT will be throttled back.
“And for the record I don’t believe Trump is for confiscation of guns at all.”
You don’t ... that funny it sure sounds like he is all in for it.
Due Process ... who cares about that, just take their firearms away.
If Obama said that I am sure you would be singing a different tune.
When ANYONE says forget about Due Process, that is FRIGHTENING to me and should be to anyone who believes in Constitutional rule of law.
Right now there are a lot of nervous people out there that are seeing the President they voted for ready to stick a knife in their back just to “do something, anything!”. Desperation is a VERY bad political philosophy.
