“One can only hope, because it sure looks like he screwed the pooch yesterday.”

Based on everything I have heard and seen from trump, his “just take the guns” makes perfect sense.

I bet the parents of the victims wished LE had just taken the guns.

Due process, due smocess.

His point was we have to move faster than the system allows to save lives.

Trump interest is in stopping the next slaughter.

Yeah, he got a little loose with his tongue but his heart is in the right place.

Everybody freakin’ relax.

Nonsense. The problem is that the system didn't "move" at all. He could have been referred for evaluation on numerous occasions, he wasn't. Had he been deemed a threat to self and others, his life with legal firearms would have been over. "Just take the guns" is tyranny.

Yes, the mental health system could well determine he isn't a threat, in which case he could own guns.

BTW, your apparent assumption that Donald Trump is President in perpetuity is mistaken. As is any belief that there will be only conservative, pro-gun Presidents in the future. I'd suggest under President Hillary, were non due process confiscation available, they'd be targeting deplorables, conservatives and veterans long before targeting minorities.

Maybe said parents should be the ones taking the initiative, no??

Relying upon govt got us *all* this outcome. Those (step)parents should hang their hang in shame.

‘See something, say something’ doesn’t excuse them for doing NOTHING but raising the flag (no follow-up, no confiscation, no intervention, no XYZ).
