The GOP will lose both House and Senate this fall and Trump will be impeached if they push through gun control or amnesty legislation.

4D chess becomes “read my lips, no new taxes.”

Mention of a warning about a real and serious concern.

NRA’s LaPierre warns conservatives of ‘socialist state’

And an essay that no one should miss.

Is The Second Amendment Worth Dying For?

Nope. These things fade away. Ride it out!!

[montag813]

NO PURPOSE whatsoever. Parkland had nothing to do with guns. That much is clear at this hour, and should dominate conservative/GOP discourse this weekend: the FBI, Sheriff and Broward Schools blew it. Period. NO national gun laws should be changed as a result. The brainwashed kids must be ignored, sidelined and scolded as ignorant ruses for anti-gun extremists. Trump MUST hold firm and wait for the turning of the tide.

I refuse to panic. It solves nothing.

[SoFloFreeper]

I don’t call it “The (s)Hill” for nothing. The rag desires to drive a wedge between Trump and his growing support.

[Maris Crane]

I saw that...

President Trump did not TIP TOE AROUND ANYTHING.

THIS MEDIA LYING HAS GOT TO STOP!!!!!

Revisit 2nd amendment, sure!

• Pass National reciprocity
• Pass Hearing Safety Act
• Eliminate gun free zones
• Improve background checks re mental challenged people, sure, why not? Via a court order, of course, which means due process.
• Agree to enforce existing guns laws! Prosecute violators!
• Limit guns? Sure, anything that police can have, a citizen can have. I can't think of a more meaningful distinction that respects the 2nd amendment short of an anything goes interpretation which is not realistic, even if preferred.
• Okay, ban bump stocks. Big deal, I doubt anyone knows someone that even has one. And anyone so desperate can ge a rubber band
• Change age limit, no. In fact, IF 18 is age to vote and join the military, then it is age to buy/sell/own guns, alcohol, etc. Okay, if insist, then restrict non-servicemembers under 21. But if a US citizen is in the military, they get FULL RIGHTS OF CITIZENSHIP.

Truth is that crimes related to legal gun possession are vanishingly rare.

The laws on the books are adequate and the system generally works if it is functioning properly

In the wake of the tragedy in Broward the temptation and pressure to “ do something “ is overwhelming but I'll advised

Our current crises exposes serious systemic incompetence, rot and corruption in our governance and law enforcement systems

The fact that most all of the mass casualty attacks in the last decade follow a similar pattern.

All of the perpetrators were previously on the radar screens of law enforcement as potential violent perpetrators or terrorists.

Despite prior law enforcement knowledge of the attackers desire a combination of willful inaction, political correctness and incompetence combine to block action being taken prevent their attacks .

The Broward shooting is a symptom of much larger problems in law enforcement, culture and the current state of our society in general .

Guns are not the problem and gun control will not solve the problem.

As tragic as the recent shooting spree was, the damage inflicted by the evil perpetrator could have been much worse if he used other tools than a gun for his rampage - as is demonstrated by recent terror attacks here and abroad

[Reno89519]

Trump needs to shift the national discussion to the reality that gun free zones do not work. And also admit that even in one protected by police, they do not work. Eliminate them! If you legally have a gun, you can carry it, whether to church, to school, wherever. I'm fine with restricting them in court, on planes, etc. but keep that restriction narrow and meaningful WHERE there are real armed security to replace your need for protection.

As we see with the Florida school gun free zone, the cop on-site hid during the shooting and after, allowing the murder to kill 17 and then leave! The police, they were getting a 20-minute delayed video feed. Wow, that was effective.

[goldstategop]

Common-sense gun law reforms would result in better enforcement.

Unfortunately, that’s not what the Left and the fake news media want.

They want an outright ban. They’re pushing that because they think we’ll give in.

That’s exactly what must not happen.

[TheStickman]

I bet the defeatists & never-trumpturds will get all exercised again after they read this lol

[Theophilus]

President Trump tiptoes towards a fight with the NRA an abridgement our rights expressly enumerated in the Constitution

FTFY

[JonPreston]

Less guns and more Tide Pods for these little socialist brats.

[ontap]

This is what liberals do....this asshole did not shoot up this school because he was eighteen, he did not shoot up this school because he had an AR-15. He shot up the school because he's a mentally derange psychopath who did nothing to hide that fact and all the so called experts did "NOTHING" !!!!

[DoodleDawg]

He’s not going to cross the NRA. There is no reason to.

[SkyPilot]

Here is the problem with the "mental health" angle to "gun control.

Just who is to say who is "mentally ill"?

Obama and his criminal administration (and House and Senate Democrats) said that heroic war veterans who sought counseling for PTSD were "mentally ill" and should be denied their Constitutional rights.

Who are we to rely on? "Mental Health Experts"? What a joke. These same "experts" tell us that a 5 year old boy who is being coached by his sick parents into "becoming a girl" are all mentally "healthy."

Social Security recipients who needed financial help managing their affairs had their gun rights taken away.

Is a man who took anti anxiety medication for a time now "mentally ill"? What about someone who suffers from insomnia? What about someone who is a recovering alcoholic, but has been sober for 20 years?

The slippery slope here is gargantuan.

[ontap]

I voted for President Trump and I agree with him more than 90% of the time but he is not a conservative in the true sense. He has come to our side late in his life. A few years ago he was anti gun and anti NRA and was doing all he could for liberal democrats. I accept him at his word that he has genuinely had a change of heart but with that I realize he might be tempted to fall back to his past beliefs!!!

If one web searches the articles of the last two days, one gets articles from “Trump praises NRA, calls them patriots” to articles like this.

The Cruz-ers are giving us their doomsday scenario that serves their do-nothing senator. Thanks to their version, 70% of total immigration each year (1.3 immigrants), chain migration, continues as they push their do-nothingness on all of us. Doing nothing means no wall (under construction), no increased border security, nada.
