There are times when even DJT has to make soothing sounds to quiet the Nervous Nellies in our midst.
I figured from the start that any regulatory changes would be, at most, cosmetic in nature.
America doesn’t have a gun problem. It has a huge mental illness problem.
And that problem is caused by families breaking up for no good reason other than the woman’s need to “find herself.” This leaves the man devastated emotionally and financially, and the children without the guidance of a father.
It’s not guns, it’s feminism that kills.

The Gun Grabbers want to immediately bathe in the blood of the dead before the bodies grow cold every time some lunatic murders a bunch of people. The key is to stall until passions die down. Once cooler heads prevail, they can’t accomplish any of their gun grabs.
Trump has done a masterful job of doing just that.

Thank God!
[And, yes, I mean that literally. I just prayed and thanked Him for continuing to protect His people in America from our enemies.]

"Similarly, Democrats are signaling that just passing 'red flag' legislation that would empower law enforcement officials to confiscate firearms from people judged to be dangerous is not enough."
That does imply that there are some Republican plans to pass red flag legislation--probably something to put pressure on more states to pass it. So it will probably be done stealthily and quickly. Watch for it.
If that is what is done, prepare for a really sad 2020 election and economic and other consequences during the years that follow.

Interesting post. A big reason that during the so-called ‘Partition Riots’ in India in 1947 were so horrific is that after the Sepoy Revolt in 1857 the British pretty well disarmed Bengal and the Punjab where owning arms was common and poor men owned swords if they could not afford a musket or shotgun. Consequently people had no defense against large well organized mobs armed with chains, lengths of pipe, two x fours, and lathis, (steel tipped clubs). Thus Sikh mobs murdered Muslims wholesale and muzzies murdered Hindus and Sikhs in similar numbers. After the Indira Gandhi assassination by one of her secret service type bodyguards, who was a Sikh, the same thing happened in Delhi. Hindu mobs hunted down Sikh's just like a pogrom in the Ukraine. The Sikh population, including many professionals and educators and retired army officers were effectively helpless as the mobs rampaged and the police only took action to arrest the few Sikh’s trying to keep the mob at bay with single shot rifles and shotguns. This sort of thing will happen in Blue areas once the third world mob ‘changes the demographic’ and the rats make gun ownership a felony.

Trump is going to have the Democrats voting against gun control before this ends.

Good! What about shall not be infringed is SO hard for EVERYONE to understand? Criminals don’t care about ANY laws!
To: robowombat; PROCON
Hopefully, the phone calls to the White House and our opposition voiced on forums such as this one have reached the ears of the President.
Hopefully........

Get ready for some more shootings.Unfortunately, you may be correct. The Deep State has a deep bench of MK ULTRA broken minded goons that can be launched via a phone call.

As always, Democrats’ real goal is to own the issue at election time.
Trump astutely realized this. Hence appearing to be open to reasonable compromise was a no-risk gambit for him.

I’m noticing a pattern that when articles like this come out, they serve as a klaxon call.
Another spree killing is about to take place, if the pattern holds.
Stay armed, FRiends.

That would have just as much effect on "gun crime" as would taking my guns away from me.
Neither would do a thing.

It wouldn’t actually happen, but let The Master Troll suggest the possibility and watch liberal heads explode as the hypocrisy pressure progressively achieves ever higher levels!
