I’ve been told my rapid fire sounds just like an M16. That’s all I needed to hear!

"Obama Administration legalized bump stocks. BAD IDEA. As I promised, today the Department of Justice will issue the rule banning BUMP STOCKS with a mandated comment period. We will BAN all devices that turn legal weapons into illegal machine guns," Trump tweeted.

New York Values ...

What about a Trump DOJ order to fire and prosecute all FISA abusers?

Start with the DAG. Take away his dinner privileges with the AG. Fire him, then prosecute him.

Probably not. The left's hate for Trump is irrational. They should thank him for this, though. He has done more for them than 0bama ever did.

Trump is making Obama look like a card-carrying NRA member.

Wait, what? You mean the President CAN direct AG Sessions to take action on a directive? Then why is Crooked H, Huma, and Lois still at large?

Good question.

Is it Sessions disobeying a direct order from the President

Sessions takes Trump's orders as "suggestions". I'm serious. He has used that word to describe what Trump wants done.

I think this is “ Piss off your base” Day

He probably thought that rolling out a gun ban would help us forget about the spending bill.

Don't worry. It's really 4-D chess and all that.

Me neither and I have had guns for fifty years. I just move my finger really fast if I want to waste ammo.

I guess this means no wall too.

No, there's a wall. Page 376 of the spending bill allocates funds for the border security of Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, and Tunisia.

Bump stocks are more of a technique than an actual tool. A belt loop will do....or just holding it a certain way.

Is this Trump’s “read my lips” Waterloo?

Who is advising Trump? I am fine with the bump stock ban, but when your base is already demoralized by the disastrous omnibus, you don’t do this today. The people most opposed to this are in his base. Also pushing DACA (which many in your base don’t like) today as the reason you aren’t happy with the omnibus is not the right way to go. I think he is trying to get voters from the Hispanic community who support DACA (which isn’t a monolith as there are Hispanics who voted for Trump), but that’s not going to happen. They know the reason the Democrats aren’t voting for DACA is because they want to give amnesty to all 11 million including DACA relatives, so they will still vote Democrat.

Yep, and they still hate him. Read his Twitter comments. They aren’t grateful. Anytime he seems to be backtracking on something that is for his base that they would like, you’d think they’d thank him, but they don’t. They taunt his base that they were betrayed. They will never like Trump. We like Trump and will fight for Trump, and today was a terrible day for us.
