President Trump’s “Grand Bargain” on Guns
Root For America ^ | September 8, 2019 | Wayne Allyn Root

Posted on 09/08/2019 6:20:47 AM PDT by Twotone

Guns are in the news again. Democrats shamelessly use every mass shooting tragedy as an opportunity to take away the God-given and Constitution-given rights of gun owning Americans.

Never forget what Obama’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel once said, “Never let a crisis go to waste.”

Also, never forget that 41 people were shot over the Labor Day weekend in Chicago. Isn’t that a “mass shooting?” Doesn’t 100% Democrat-controlled Chicago already have the strictest gun control in the country?

But nonetheless, I’m willing to compromise. I’m willing to give Democrats a crown jewel of what they’ve crusaded for, for decades.

I want President Trump to call their bluff. Democrats want “universal background checks” on all gun sales. Let’s give it to them…

As soon as Democrats agree to Federal Government-Issued Photo and Fingerprint ID for every voter in America.

Now there’s a grand bargain. Isn’t that an offer too good to refuse? Democrats claim they want to stop gun violence. They claim universal background checks is the answer. So why would they reject this offer?

Are they so frightened by Voter ID, they’re willing to let gun violence and mass shootings continue unabated?

It would be interesting to see what the Dems would say if offered such a bargain.

The Brown Shirt Media would just deny it ever happened.

No is correct because they would NEVER agree to it and then THEY would have to answer to the public on why.

I like the idea.

“Constitution-given rights”

Someone doesn’t understand what “rights” are...

And when the courts uphold the universal background checks and strike down the voter ID card, what then?

Sounds very much like a Real ID. The only wrinkle in that plan - it is nearly impossible for seniors to get a valid birth certificate as the standards for acceptability have so drastically changed; Certs issued in the 40s and 50s are no longer acceptable.

If the hospital they were born in no longer exists, or the records where otherwise destroyed, or if they have to prove who they are by presenting the hospital with a valid ID (a birth cert) they are out of luck and are effectively non-citizens.

My opinion of the DNC and deep state is low enough that I am able to imagine they’d set up mass shootings, not just take advantage of them.

Worthless because the judiciary would checkmate voter ID while leaving gun restrictions standing. When Federal judges have to be renominated every 10 years or be directly elected, maybe.

If it actually would happen, would be irrevocable and could never be challenged in court, I would be for such an idea. The Democrats are killing us with illegal voters. Yes, do it, however, it HAS to go into effect to get the registration. They would never agree.

I’ll do one better.
They want to license gun owners? Fine.
Then for every licensed gun owner, no restrictions shall apply.
Carry anywhere, everywhere and everything.
No NFA required.
Automatic FFL license with it: guns can be shipped to your door.
Any other infringement by any government entities results in immediate prison time and a million dollar fine for said entities.

It’ll never happen because they can’t be trusted.

Not quite. I went through a real problem getting my first Texas drivers license over that very issue, and here's what I learned.

It's hospital certificates that have become unacceptable - not state generated birth certificates. Every American citizen should have a state generated certificate, regardless whether they got a hospital cert, or not.

I was born in the early fifties, and I've got both. When I tried to use my hospital cert to obtain my Texas drivers license, they refused it on the grounds that the rules had changed due to 9/11. Only a state generated bc would do, which I was forced to send off for.

No thank you.

I have no problem with requiring a voter ID in order to initiate the current background check.

Get voter ID ! Note class of criminal record on back, address, e-mail, and phone number.

TIME TO DO IT.

Democrats are once again threatening to pack SCOTUS.
It’s more than just words. They have gone psychotic with the loss of power & control. They are the greatest danger free America faces.
