Trump school safety proposal to call for armed staff and raising gun-buying age
The Guardian ^ | 3-11-2018 | Guardian Staff

Posted on 03/11/2018 11:59:42 AM PDT by JamesP81

Donald Trump will propose arming school staff and raising the minimum age to purchase certain firearms to 21 in a school safety proposal the administration will release on Sunday, a White House spokesman said.

The proposal on age limits for gun purchases will put the president on a collision course with the National Rifle Association, which endorsed him and donated to his White House campaign.

Anyone who is still supporting Trump is delusional.

Anyone who thinks he's pro-2A is delusional.

Pay attention to the bit about raising the age to 21 for 'certain types of firearms.' This is a way to get a legal definition of the made up term "assault weapons" into the law again. No way that would ever be used against us later, right?

Trump has lost my vote. He will not win a second term and deserves to lose.

Only if the voting age is also raised to 21.

You are right. I’m voting for Hillary if she runs in 2020. Wake up. It’s bad. But he’s done a thousand good things. You sound like a person that’s been dying to hit Trump and found your chance. And he will win without your vote. Yes I am very disappointed. And no I am not close to stupid enough to not vote for him in 2020.

Raise the voting age to 21 and it kinda makes sense.

Yes, there’s no question any number of Democrats on our radar would be preferable...

Fine. Sit at home in 2020 and let another Obama win. What you suggest is the opposite of helping our side. I’m disgusted about this too, but there are other considerations.

Raise the voting age to 21 at the same time.

Raise voting age and draft age to 21, then we’ll talk.

When Trump puts something out, he’s looking for input. It’s called CONGRESS....and the people they represent....He wants to hear from BOTH sides of the aisle.

Didn't like that much when it applied to me. When I turned 21 I'd already been in the Army almost 3 years and had been in SEA 2. I was allowed to enlist at barely 18, but couldn't vote. I couldn't buy a vehicle, or marry without a permission letter from my parents and commander until 21.

It's not the guns - it's the criminals and madmen.

Restricting gun purchases by law abiding citizens won't solve the problem.

Once the schools are buttoned up like forts and protected by armed guards and/or staff what will the bad guys do when they want to commit mayhem?

Here's a hint:

Fine. Sit at home in 2020 and let another Obama win

Obama signed a bill allowing CCW in national parks.

The Obama BATFE ruled in favor of bump stocks and pistol braces.

Despite Obama's talk, he did no damage to the 2A in his eight years.

BECAUSE of his talk, Trump has done more damage to the 2A in two weeks than Obama did in 8 years.

Now, you tell me what's going on here? TRUMP IS NOT ENTITLED TO MY VOTE BECAUSE HE HAS AN R BY HIS NAME OR EVEN BECAUSE HE GOT SOME THINGS RIGHT.

If your political aims are to crush or curtail Americans' civil rights, you are no one I will be associated with.

The Democrats learned, painfully, in 1994 the lessons of attacking the 2A. The republicans, and Trump in particular, are about to sit in on the same lecture.

Until about 2 weeks ago I was starting to think Trump was going to be the best president of my lifetime. What a fool I was. If I wanted gun control I'd have voted for HRC. If I'm getting gun control no matter what, why should I vote? I need a reason to vote for someone, or at least against an opponent. If both candidates are the same....

You are crazy if you think Trump is going to win in 2020. Even Bannon was clear on this as being one of the few mistakes Trump could make that would end his chances of reelection.

Trump shouldn't be re-elected if he infringes the 2nd Amendment. The liar.

Sadly, enough Americans vote their pocketbook not their freedoms to give him another 4 years. To take more of our freedoms. The liar.

Bingo!

“Despite Obama’s talk, he did no damage to the 2A in his eight years.”

Only because he didn’t have the chance, not for not trying. He was willing to send thousands of “assault weapons” to Mexican cartels to create a “crisis” in order reinstate and expand the AWB. If anything it was Harry Reid who killed any gun control. If Schumer had been in charge he probably would have passed one.

In any case nothing has happened yet. All this it is floating the notion of keeping 18-20 year olds not being able to buy “certain kinds” of firearms, not all firearms, and not everyone. If you are willing to throw out someone who has done hundreds of great things that NO OTHER GOP candidate would have done (at least none that could ever win) over that, you are not a serious person.

Obama also signed a bill allowing Amtrak passengers to carry guns in checked baggage, reversing a ban that was put in place after 9/11.

Because of all this the Brady Campaign gave Obama an F in January 2010.

Now having said that don't panic yet about Trump. He often makes bold statements to appease the Left but nothing comes of it.

Meanwhile keep pounding at your Congress critters and Senators with calls and emails. Be polite but firm and tell them you'll accept no compromise and absolutely no new legislation that infringes our 2nd Amendment rights.

Same goes for the President... burn up the phone lines and fill his email inbox. Old fashioned snail mail is great too.

And last but not least, lets make an example of Gov. Rick Scott and the traitors in Florida: Here are the traitors who voted for the Florida Gun Bill: docs.google.com .

A Human Right
Just Say No To Rick Scott For Senate!

Is that so? How incredibly and wildly wrong you are.

Oh good grief! Fair weather friends and supporters “everything must go my way or they will lose my vote”. Well...life is not like that. He’s by far the best President we’ve had in forever, he deserves your vote.

Good luck repealing the 26th Amendment.

LOL! The Democrats fell for that twice. I imagine they will stay completely out of this.
