There was a way to stop Cruz, but it was deliberately avoided.

They clearly wanted a massacre to advance their agenda.

Easy? You are counting on the courts following the law. Look at the example I gave with DACA. I no longer trust the courts to do the right thing.

Prepare the fainting couch. The gloom ‘n doomers have started the surrender monkey parade.

We went through this crap with DACA, and the usual defeatists showed up to bash Trump.

Correct....a bull session open to the media incidentally intended to make DJT look open to ideas. He'll give 'em a few almost meaningless concessions, in a deal TBD but including the scalp of Sheriff Israel and the Promise program.

Let me guess: immediately above this post is approximately ninety Freepers trying to convince themselves that this is Trump playing 4D chess and not a NYC guy showing his anti-gun biases.

Is that what happened with DACA and his SCOTUS appointment? Typical NYC stuff?

It all work in the end, but I’ll second your assertion that DJT was reckless with his ‘take the guns, then go to court comment.’ I’d like to chalk it up as a wide open bull session in which no idea is a bad idea, for the sake of discussion.

One major problem problem with legal authority to confiscate guns from individuals declared to be mentally incompetent is
that sooner or later leftists will abuse the power and try to declare people mentally incompetent based on their beliefs and views.

They will try to use the government power to disenfranchise conservatives, Christains, anti-abortionists, heterosexuals, patriots,
military vets and anyone else who opposes political correctness and the liberal agenda.

Like this:

Teacher Talks About Safety After Florida School Shooting, Is Told To Get Psych Exam, Go On Leave

By nearly every account Timothy Locke is one of the most beloved teachers in the Cherry Hill, N.J., school district.

Locke is a veteran of the Iraq war and for the past 17 years he’s flavored his classroom lessons at Cherry Hill East High School with real-life experiences.

But on Feb. 22, the veteran school teacher was summoned to the principal’s office where his bag was searched, he was placed on administrative leave and was ordered to undergo a physical and a psychiatric evaluation.

According to parents and students Locke’s only crime was to address his concerns about school safety with youngsters in his Advanced Placement History class. The teacher feared a similar attack could happen at Cherry Hill East.

“During the course of the conversation he indicated that he would protect his students if something like (Parkland, Florida) happened here,” parent Eric Ascalon told "The Todd Starnes Radio Show." “He was raising safety concerns about the school with the students. And the intent of his statement (was that) he would protect his students at all costs.”

Imagine that, folks. An Iraq war veteran reassured his students that if someone tried to attack the school, he'd be there to protect them. That’s a good thing, right?

Well, the leadership at Cherry Hill East felt otherwise after a student in the classroom complained.

The school district refuses to comment on what was said or why Locke was placed on administrative leave. Locke, too, has stopped talking on the advice of his attorney.

But before that happened he granted an interview to Philly.com.

“The bottom line is that I was very concerned about the security at my school,” Locke told the news site. “I was adamantly concerned with the welfare of my students.”

On this issue, yes. He’s spent his whole life living in a state and city where guns are highly regulated. It’s second nature.

And, don’t kid yourself: Ivanka has been after him on this one for long time. I have no doubt she (figuratively) climbed into Daddy’s lap, gave him the best pout and told him he needed to do this for the children.

EVERY DAMNED ONE of these shooters EXCEPT Columnbine HAD BEEN under investigation AND the FBI dropped the ball!!!! I am STARTING to believe that the deep state IS doing this deliberately!!!! If the FBI is TRULY this incompetent we NEED to ban the FBI, start over from the ground up!!! IF the SCOTUS rules in our favor where unions are concerned it would be a good time to do this!!!!

Bingo!

The left has been pushing the idea that conservatism is a mental disorder for years. If they can they'll argue that, for example, Christian values are homophobic and symptomatic of a denial of reality. Same with "climate deniers," etc.

Yes , that crowd is around but Trump was clueless about people ‘s right to bear arms .

When Senator Toomey schooled Trump that grabbing the guns of Decent hardworking Young People is an awful idea .
Trump sounded clueless and like a Manhattan elite .
He had no idea his Young voter base in the country own guns and Hunt .
His entire family oriented base HUNT.
The midterms will be disaster with this reckless thinking . Does he even care about his base anymore. ?

You are right. The media changed the context. I can’t believe the number of people on this website believe that crap after the number of times he has said he supports the 2nd Amend. They must have simple lives.

Trump attack on the NRA was not needed and meant to appease WHOM ?
Trump wanting to ban all gun sales to people under 21 was such a bad comment that Rino Senator Toomey stepped in and defended all the Good Decent Young Hunters .

He simply said too many stupid comments and fueled the gun grabber fire .
