But even so, I think the BEST WAY to fight this, and probably what Trump is doing, is to give some ground (as it’s hard to convince Soccer Moms to simply suck it up when you have these highly publicized so-called ‘mass killings’ happening on a regular basis - Soccer Moms WILL vote Democrat if they perceive Republicans as not doing something, anything, to SAVE OUR CHILDREN - as they see it).

That is exactly what the people doing the mass shootings want you to do. Since when do we let terrorists decide our political direction in the USA?

Many of the mass shooters want to trigger gun control - either because they are themselves in favor of gun control, like the guy who just launched a terror attack in Dayton, or because they are trying to start a larger war, like the guy in New Zealand.

How about responding to the "do something" call of the left with actions to improve mental health care, limit access to violent video games, and perhaps limit the kind of material people who may have violent thoughts are allowed to watch.

Why not have a background check before people are allowed to see a violent movie, or buy a violent video game? People who are known to have problematic behavior, like the kid in Dayton, should be required to have mental health treatment, and forbidden from, for example, playing first person shooter video games.

Of course that tramples on their 1st amendment rights, but isn't that better than trampling on everyone's 2nd amendment rights?

Of course we'll see nothing but opposition to those ideas by the Democrats, so the Soccer Moms, as you call them, will realize that the Democrats aren't trying to save their kids, just set up our nation for tyranny.

Actually the Democrats call them Soccer Moms...as to them realizing that big government can end badly for with regards to personal freedoms, good luck convincing them of that!!!
