When President Trump made his startling comment during bipartisan televised White House gun discussions about taking guns first and due process later, I suspected he was doing the same thing he had done during similar immigration discussions a few weeks earlier. He likes to toss out ideas and let them be debated.
He heartens his opponents, and because they are so emotionally driven, they overreach, and he comes across looking reasonable while they look extreme.
His proposal for a deal, when it comes, seems reasonable to the public.
This is "unpresidential" behavior because in the previously existing culture of politics, a president must not speak until all the implications and ramifications of an idea have been researched and buttoned down.
But for President Trump, being unpresidential is not bug. It is a feature.
This time, as with illegal immigration, his opponents, intoxicated by what they eagerly embrace as a wedge between the president and his enthusiastic backers in the Civil Rights Movement, Second Amendment Division, let it all hang out, as Susan Ferrechio of the Examiner reported yesterday afternoon: "Democrats to propose weapons ban, gun confiscation powers in bill inspired by Trump."
Shortly after this came out, news arrived that the NRA's Chris Cox had met with the POTUS in the Oval Office and is confident that the Second Amendment is quite safe.

ITYS comes to mind.
The emotional reactions belong on the left.
“So you want to turn government schools into prison prototypes?”
Think of them as re-education camps. It’s what they are isn’t it. And if it saves just one child.....
Increasingly - sad -
and less fighter/doers anymore either - more nattering nabobs
Wow, perfect description.
Yup. Check out the cutesy vanity threads from these so-called Freepers when Trump said something about gun control and every 2nd A Freeper (a lot) got their panties in a twist that Trump sold them out.
idiots most of them. vanity thread to post your displeasure because of one small mention that they will not vote in 2020 because of it. Morons, imbecile and retards.

Its also possible that President Trump COUNTS on this type of reaction to be able to point to it and say we Republicans would lose too much support.
Trump to NRA: “Oh, ye of little faith!”
I know that. People have been extrapolating Trump saying not o put Concealed Carry Reciprocity in John Cornyn’s background check bill into “Trump doesn’t support Concealed Carry Reciprocity”.
Doing that is a lie of omission.
Not me. I want them to have security similar to that of the White House. Fences, cameras, id checks, metal detectors, armed guards, bullet proof windows. Pretty much the same security enjoyed by Hollywood bigshots, billionaires, politicians, or the Pope. Is that asking too much?
I'd rather spend tax dollars on this than on a lot of other garbage our government is buying. It's not like the pot holes in my street can get any worse.
“idiots, Morons, imbecile and retards”
Are you sure you didn’t leave out any derogatory names? No, all good? Hope that makes you feel better about yourself.
yeah, we tend to over-react when the president says something that is totally unconstitutional. Was it really “planned” or was it explained to him after he talked?
I’m not stressed other than my reaction to nervous nellies, idiots, toddlers freaking out and of course there are trolls...
Sometime I forget for a moment how POTUS DJT does things but those moments are getting shorter and fewer.
One of the main features!

Understatement of the century.....;-}
That is what the Dems have currently made our schools, so we have to remake them.
That is why they want them at age 3 to start indoctrinating them. Memphis is set to raise the Hotel/Motel tax to fund Pre-K to do that. Memphis is total Dem run who can’t even add 2+2 or read simple Dick and Jane books at HS level. Hubby taught Electronic/Computer Science at Junior College level, the Memphis grads had to take Remedial Math before they could take his classes, these were supposed to by A/B Math students.
Some buy a Trump hat for the opportunity to declare they have been bamboozled and will now burn it.

My point exactly. I could not care less if they looked like prisons but served their intended purpose. Modern security can be very unobtrusive, if you want, but I really dont care.
Someone finally figured Trump out. But not to worry - no one will believe him.
