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 mans 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 Pences 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 ones 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:
Dont worry about adding in the bump stock ban, Ill 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 theyre afraid of .somebody. .I dont care whos endorsing you, youre 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 youre saying, but take the guns first, go through due process second
Some people dont like the word comprehensive .I like the word comprehensive. Id 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 thats beautiful, that works.
What surprises me is that nothing has been done for so many years
I dont understand why this hasnt happened for the last 20 years
..there is so much commonality between Republicans and Democrats.
Excellent point! Exactly what I’m saying thank you.
Because nobody has tried. ( where is jeffy sessions?) We WILL STOP due process usurpation. EASY!!
.
There was a way to stop Cruz, but it was deliberately avoided.
They clearly wanted a massacre to advance their agenda.
.
Easy? You are counting on the courts following the law. Look at the example I gave with DACA. I no longer trust the courts to do the right thing.
Prepare the fainting couch. The gloom ‘n doomers have started the surrender monkey parade.
We went through this crap with DACA, and the usual defeatists showed up to bash Trump.
I can forum shop in 5 minutes. It is very easy, my friend. VERY.
Let me guess: immediately above this post is approximately ninety Freepers trying to convince themselves that this is Trump playing 4D chess and not a NYC guy showing his anti-gun biases.
Is that what happened with DACA and his SCOTUS appointment? Typical NYC stuff?
It all work in the end, but I’ll second your assertion that DJT was reckless with his ‘take the guns, then go to court comment.’ I’d like to chalk it up as a wide open bull session in which no idea is a bad idea, for the sake of discussion.
They will try to use the government power to disenfranchise conservatives, Christains, anti-abortionists, heterosexuals, patriots,
military vets and anyone else who opposes political correctness and the liberal agenda.

Teacher Talks About Safety After Florida School Shooting, Is Told To Get Psych Exam, Go On Leave
By nearly every account Timothy Locke is one of the most beloved teachers in the Cherry Hill, N.J., school district.
Locke is a veteran of the Iraq war and for the past 17 years hes flavored his classroom lessons at Cherry Hill East High School with real-life experiences.
But on Feb. 22, the veteran school teacher was summoned to the principals office where his bag was searched, he was placed on administrative leave and was ordered to undergo a physical and a psychiatric evaluation.
According to parents and students Lockes only crime was to address his concerns about school safety with youngsters in his Advanced Placement History class. The teacher feared a similar attack could happen at Cherry Hill East.
During the course of the conversation he indicated that he would protect his students if something like (Parkland, Florida) happened here, parent Eric Ascalon told "The Todd Starnes Radio Show." He was raising safety concerns about the school with the students. And the intent of his statement (was that) he would protect his students at all costs.
Imagine that, folks. An Iraq war veteran reassured his students that if someone tried to attack the school, he'd be there to protect them. Thats a good thing, right?
Well, the leadership at Cherry Hill East felt otherwise after a student in the classroom complained.
The school district refuses to comment on what was said or why Locke was placed on administrative leave. Locke, too, has stopped talking on the advice of his attorney.
But before that happened he granted an interview to Philly.com.
The bottom line is that I was very concerned about the security at my school, Locke told the news site. I was adamantly concerned with the welfare of my students.

On this issue, yes. He’s spent his whole life living in a state and city where guns are highly regulated. It’s second nature.
And, don’t kid yourself: Ivanka has been after him on this one for long time. I have no doubt she (figuratively) climbed into Daddy’s lap, gave him the best pout and told him he needed to do this for the children.
EVERY DAMNED ONE of these shooters EXCEPT Columnbine HAD BEEN under investigation AND the FBI dropped the ball!!!! I am STARTING to believe that the deep state IS doing this deliberately!!!! If the FBI is TRULY this incompetent we NEED to ban the FBI, start over from the ground up!!! IF the SCOTUS rules in our favor where unions are concerned it would be a good time to do this!!!!
Bingo!
The left has been pushing the idea that conservatism is a mental disorder for years. If they can they'll argue that, for example, Christian values are homophobic and symptomatic of a denial of reality. Same with "climate deniers," etc.
When Senator Toomey schooled Trump that grabbing the guns of Decent hardworking Young People is an awful idea .
Trump sounded clueless and like a Manhattan elite .
He had no idea his Young voter base in the country own guns and Hunt .
His entire family oriented base HUNT.
The midterms will be disaster with this reckless thinking . Does he even care about his base anymore. ?
You are right. The media changed the context. I can’t believe the number of people on this website believe that crap after the number of times he has said he supports the 2nd Amend. They must have simple lives.
He simply said too many stupid comments and fueled the gun grabber fire .
