Okay.
22:56 to Toomey: “You’re afraid of the NRA!”
34:40 - 35:00: Scalise was talking about CCW reciprocity being in the bill, and Trump cut him off. Scalise asked that it not just be dismissed, but Trump would have none of that, saying CCW reciprocity should not be included in the bill. That took away a very good negotiation argument before there is even any debate. It’s all well and good that it can come back as a stand-alone bill, but we needed it as a negotiating point.
41:30 - 41.32 to the room: “Some of you people are petrified of the NRA.”
He cut-off Mike Pence and said, twice, that confiscation should come before due process. That is very alarming to those of us who believe in the Constitution and its protections.
Also very troubling was at the end when Dianne Feinstein was discussing the need to ban “assault weapons,” and Trump told the room to “sit down with Dianne” and come up with something very strong.
“He cut-off Mike Pence and said, twice, that confiscation should come before due process.”
Trump said that very specifically in the case of untrained, mentally ill people who own guns and have been reported to authorities 44 times.
Do you want school shootings to continue? If not what are your viable solutions?? That’s why wants the people to not be petrified of the NRA. He wants a dialogue,. I’ve seen people petrified to talk to upper management where I work. It’s a very negative and unproductive thing.
Remember Trump ALWAYS brings up concealed carry for teachers and bullets flying back towards the cowards attacking innocents in gun free zones.
Context matters.
