I really wish someone would press Trump on mass shootings and how he would deal with them.

    Teachers should have the same right to self defense as anyone else. If the school wants to provide training, wonderful, it totally should.

    True, most schools are "gun fee zones", which doesn't include police officers or trained security personnel.

    One of the fall backs that critics use when they don’t know the issues very well is to call those with whom the disagree, “stupid.” Most people who get rich, achieve high office and are otherwise successful are not “idiots.” Hitler, Stalin and Mao were not stupid. They were evil as hell, but they were far from stupid. They knew how to whip up the rabble and navigate and outsmart the others who were angling for power.

    You do realize that Trump did not write the rule declaring the bump stock to be illegal? The ATF makes such determinations based on it's interpretations of the code. And like too many government agencies, it responds to public emotions and political demands in doing so. When Trump made that statement, he was saying people had to follow the law. I didn't agree that bumps stock made weapons fully auto, and I think most people did not- but good citizens know you can't pick and choose, and only respect the laws you like.

    The left on the other hand does exactly that, and makes equal acts into crimes or so-what's depending on what benefits them. The secret documents charges for example, prove that Biden did repeatedly violate the law intentionally. He never had the right to the documents in the first place. And while he shared them with a host writer and had them in unsecured and random storage, Trump had the right, and those documents were stored in a virtual fortress with secret service guards.

    People with double standards of justice- are simply not honest people, and only a fool buys that crap. Seems we have a lot of them. They don't blame Trump for what he does, they blame him for being Trump. They have been programmed to hate by political personalities and ignore performance- and haven't objected to it. They seem unable to keep order in their own heads, which disqualifies a person to dictate to others.

    Yeah... that's why the UAW supports Biden. They can't wait to move to Puerto Vallarta or Shanghai.

    What nonsense!

    Would you like me to post a video of Trump literally saying he did that.



    hell with it, I posted it anyway. Here let me also find you an article on him wanting to ban the bump stock.

    Here is an article of him saying “he will ban bump stocks through executive order”

    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna852021

    you are a fool if you think it wasn’t his intent to do exactly what he did.

    he even told members of the Republican Party that they were too afraid of the NRA. Something else that article points out. This is the guy you all want leading the Republican Party. He’s a gun grabbing Democrat not a Republican.

    You are literally displaying a double standard. If democrats done what Trump done you would be discussing the Democrat gun grabs but when it’s someone you want to vote for you make excuses and will not demonize him the same way. I am completely non partisan in my criticism of gun control. I will never falter my beliefs for a party or any individual either. I will stand my ground no matter who it is.

    Having trained security personnel is prolly the best option. But its also the really expensive option. Allowing teachers to carry is essentially free. And it has the added benefit of not being cut 5 years later after theres no mass shootings and the principle wants a payraise.

    He'll do or say anything he thinks will help him politically without regard for American's health and safety.........as he always has.

    Trump vows to undo Biden gun restrictions if re-elected

    HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Former President Donald Trump, the Republican frontrunner in the 2024 presidential race, said on Friday he had firmly protected gun rights while in the White House and vowed if re-elected to undo all restrictions enacted by President Joe Biden.
    Speaking to thousands of supporters at an event organized by the National Rifle Association (NRA), Trump promised to rescind a rule curbing sales of gun accessories known as pistol braces and other regulations put in place by the Biden administration.

    Apparently actions speak louder than words because he was no friend to the 2nd.

    Republicans made their choice, and Trump is their nominee. He is pro-abortion and anti-gun, but it doesn't seem to bother them. I know people who said for decades that abortion was the only reason they vote Republican, but now that abortion is off the table, and GOP nominee is pro-abortion, they'll still pull for him, which tends to show it was never really about abortion, - and its not about gun rights either.

    As @Pro_Line_FL correctly points out, it's pretty clear that Trump is anti-gun. To us who are pro-gun control that might seem appealing if it weren't for the fact that Trump has that position only because he believes armed people might be an impediment to him becoming a dictator. I think there are other safeguards in our system to prevent Trump from reaching his goal. But his style of act first, think later (or never) might very well produce a blood-bath.

    And runs the risk of children being shot by someone that doesn't know what they are doing.

    You just watched Bribed Joe coordinate with the Lying Fake News Media, on a disinformation campaign AFTER Trump raised the issue of Bribed Joe and the Dems planned bloodbath of the US Auto Industry that they plan to take from the US Auto Workers and give to Mexico and China. China, you'll remember, has given $Millions in bribes to Bribe Joe.

    Trump committed that if the American People trust him with the power, he will hit the products from these massive Auto and Parts Manufacturing Plants that China is building in Mexico, so that they can dump them on US Markets under the North American Trade Agreement, with 100% tariffs, which will protect the US Auto Industry and the US Auto Worker.

    Bribed Joe and the Dems, rather than engaging the issue Trump rightfully raises, instead tried to hide it with a disinformation campaign, coordinated with the media, on the very same day that Bribed Joe is arguing before the Supreme Court that he should be able to ABRIDGE the free speech rights of Americans, because Americans lie while he should be able to impose a ministry of truth that prevents Americans from calling him out when he lies, and he lies all the time, about everything.

    Now this is a long ways from your mass-shooting topic, but, you are the one who pulled in the "Bloodbath" Disinformation Campaign that Bribed Joe and the Dems are running to hide their plans to take the US Auto Industry from US Auto workers and give it to Mexico and China, into your topic. I'd suggest we continue the discussion on more suitable topic, going forward.

    And that he did. Fortunately Biden brought it back just as it was heading to the precipice. But next time, you better pay attention. We might not get somebody as experienced as ol' Joe to save us.

    I am not here to claim what people believe or don’t but I will point out (as you have) that Trump is no friend of the second. I know you want gun control but I may be able to deter those who love guns from supporting someone who will and has taken away 2nd amendment liberties and was the first president ever to make a confiscation order.

    A significant number of 'mass shootings', at schools and elsewhere, were staged events. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

    Correct! NOT the world pandemic. Trump! The economy was on the downfall even before the pandemic. Which was ALSO exacerbated by Trump's incompetence. But not even Trump destroyed the economy. Thanks to Joe!
