Good on President Trump. He's seemingly listened to we, the Deplorables.
I hope he does not become more gun-control friendly after his re-election in 2020.

The question remains, will any of these reforms have prevented the so called mass shootings and the daily murders in dem run cities like Chicago and Baltimore.

Pretty sure Ivankas bold new action would produce results. She would probably just proclaim they were not the results she intended, like they always do.

The main component of this issue is the mental health area. Something they will never do anything about.
In virtually every case, the shooter displayed behavior that should have brought intervention in one form or another. Multiple agencies failed to do their jobs repeatedly. Schools, police, municipalities, medical services.
The left just wants this issue as a vehicle for further gun control. They have no interest in anything else regarding it.

It wasn’t just the NRA that let him know that universal galactic background checks would cause him to lose.
The American citizens do not want the government to know where every firearm is, that was the point of outlawing private sales, to develop a backdoor registry.

It must really chap the Dems and Marxists’ (but I repeat myself) hide, that any lobbying organization or pressure group, other than their own pet Red Guards / Hitlerjugend ,like Klantifa, are allowed any influence on the decisions of politicians.

I’m wondering if these repeated leaks about Trump’s contacts with the NRA might be coming from Ivanka.

I was going to ask if this makes LaPierre’s ‘salary’ worth it.

First he came for the bumpstocks. He is clearly anti 2A.
I thought exactly what you did. I do not trust him at all. He unmasked his true agenda.

Looks like Elaina (r) probably prefers to be the party girl rather than an investigative journalist.

NRA: DUMP LAPIERRE NOW! Agreed. He is doing more harm than any leftist. Not helping the cause whatsoever.

“First he came for the bumpstocks. He is clearly anti 2A.”
I’ve always though of bumpstocks as being stupid.
