FBN’s Regan: Gun Control Could Be Trump’s ‘Nixon in China Moment’
Breitbart ^ | 9 Aug 2019 | IAN HANCHETT

(Video at Source)

On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Trish Regan Primetime,” host Trish Regan argued that gun control “could be this president’s Nixon in China moment.”

Regan said, “You don’t want people who are mentally ill having guns or access to guns. The funny thing about all this, not that there’s anything funny about it...

...

...Because who would have thought that a conservative, endorsed by the NRA, would actually be out there looking at so many common sense measures and reforms. I’ll tell you, this could be this president’s Nixon in China moment.”

...planned genocide of Trumps supporters , conservatives and Christians in general....

Has anyone seen the Netflix docuseries “The Family”?

Got an ad for it today or yesterday.

Looks like it claims a Christian conspiracy has been behind all the R Presidents since Ike. Maybe even Clinton & zer0, since I saw their pics in the trailer.

I believe they are attempting, if not a genocide, a virtual concentration camp with none of us allowed to participate openly in society.

Both gun control and the anti-American import regime are popular with many New York Republicans. It’s not exactly an American kind of place.

If President Trump signs a commie red flag law or universal background check law, then Mr. Trump is tired of winning. It would pave the way for the unthinkable! Very sad!

It will not be a Nixon to China moment.

It will be a “read my lips...” moment.

No. As I said, there are lots of scenarios that are plausible. Trump MAY get a wall some other way...maybe the House flips in 2020 and we get some spine. Or likely not, in which case we aren't getting anything unless we give.

The real-world question for many people may be: Is full border wall funding and construction with deportations of existing illegals "worth" banning the sale of 12 firearms for ten years? For me, it's not. But for the majority of people who ultimately decide an Electoral College vote for MAGA, it may be palatable.

Yes, I'd like a secure border AND full 2nd Amendment rights. I'd like Hillary to be tried for the server incident. I'd like abortion to be illegal. I'd like for GDP to grow 5%. I want the Flyers to win the cup. I want the Middle East to be a place of peace. I won't get all of that. So with what can I live?

Keep in mind that, after opening relations with China, Nixon was still hounded out of office as a result of Watergate, and he didn’t have any friends left at the end.

The lesson is: don’t screw your friends to try to please people who will hate you forever anyway.

Trump said on Fox that the NRA will back his proposal.

If they do, it will lead to mass resignation from NRA.

We don’t know what the proposal is yet, IF the NRA is backing what Trump has in mind I doubt it will be national Red Flag Laws!!!

The Democrats will wiggle out of their end of the deal, but demand full enforcement of our end. If there has been ANY lesson to be learned over the years, it is this: never trust a Democrat.

Trump doesn’t care about politics. He does what he thinks is best for the country.

It has to be made known to him that what’s good is constitutional carry. This other crap is tyranny.

The NRA is part of our problem now. It could easily jump a permanent shark on this and both President Trump and the NRA will be finished.

Never watched much of Trish Regan - but I did watch her take on gun control - shocked by how uninformed she was (almost moron level).

Fox News usually like their pundits to know what they are talking about, pro or con.
She's just an idiot.

To quote Alexander Solzhenitsyn on the matter of Nixon and Kissinger's realpolitik use of Red China against the USSR:

I have had occasion already to say that in the 20th century Western democracy has not won any major war without help and protection from a powerful continental ally whose philosophy and ideology it did not question. In World War II against Hitler, instead of winning that war with its own forces, which would certainly have been sufficient, Western democracy grew and cultivated another enemy who would prove worse, as Hitler never had so many resources and so many people, nor did he offer any attractive ideas, or have a large number of supporters in the West as the Soviet Union. At present, some Western voices already have spoken of obtaining protection from a third power against aggression in the next world conflict, if there is one. In this case the shield would be China. But I would not wish such an outcome to any country in the world. First of all, it is again a doomed alliance with Evil; also, it would grant the United States a respite, but when at a later date China with its billion people would turn around armed with American weapons, America itself would fall prey to a genocide similar to the in Cambodia in our days.

In the grand scheme of history, we may look back and regret Nixon's move with China. However, I also believe that were it not for Bill Clinton's malfeasance with our military technology, China would not be in its current position at all.
