Trump claims he wants ‘strong background checks’ on guns

"We cannot let those killed in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, die in vain. Likewise for those so seriously wounded. We can never forget them, and those many who came before them. Republicans and Democrats must come together and get strong background checks"

“Totalitarian governments ALL have so-called “Red Flag” laws, as they encourage the people to spy on and report each other;”

Within hours of the shootings the FBI was calling for more surveillance of the American people. The FBI is the American STASI, never mind Sean Hannity’s ‘99% of the FBI are great people’.

That shows how much I know. I’m talking about guns that shoot 100 bullets automatically. Really, what citizen needs that, other than a totally paranoid nut?

Mental conditions, known treatment and possible use of phototropic drugs. There’s a high probability all were involved. I’m a member of a couple of large Veterans forums where I help council those with alcohol problems, me being a recovered alcoholic. We’re watching young Vets walking into our VA’s all across the US and coming out zombies from the med’s they’re receiving. We’re losing 22 Vets a day due to depression, PTSD and addiction. The drugs they’re giving these kids today scare the hell out of me, they’re mind warping and dangerous creating a higher degree of difficulty for a successful rehab and long term recovery. My wife’s department treats and houses Vet’s with addiction problems. I’ve went up and talked to them 3 times this year and it breaks your heart to see it

Yes, we can just add in everyone’s medical records...I mean, what could go WRONG, right?!

‘Cuz we all know that conditions don’t change, no wrong diagnosis a/o that ALL ‘mentally ill’ can/will go off the dead-end via mass-shooting.

As you’ve indicated, 22 day/vets suicide should preclude ‘em all from EVER having a fire-arm (if it saves just ONE life).

It’s a very slippery slope but would be done just as I suppose you would disagree and I would be in about 75% disagreement with. It goes back to the red flags set off by mental health conditions and being prescribed certain prescriptions. PTSD is an easy one to find out and the one that worries me the most when it comes how easy it would be to find. If you’ve ever been treated for PTSD at a VA it’s on record for life along with every prescription you’ve been given.

Trump has done what we need him to do, to the nth degree and then some.

His attitude is always right on target.

If you don’t trust him by now, I’m convinced your account on this website is phony.

How many of them would simply print out a list of donors to the RNC as their ‘list of mentally ill people’?

That's not what I said.

Your two children don’t serve at unelected, unconfirmed positions almost akin to a Cabinet Member with unprecedented access to the West Wing and overseeing critical national projects or having a say over them.

I would say this might be the end of Biden’s run/shuffle.

You’re assuming they will behave in an honorable and sensible manner.

They won’t.

They will, in fact, do exactly as I posted.

Simply having signed up and posted on FR will be a ‘red flag’.

Ole Joe stated he was saddened by the shootings in Houston and Michigan, then later corrected himself.

I think its time for assisted living Joey. You have enough ill gotten cash to cover one...

Define "stronger".

It "should" mean that we quit ignoring felonious behavior of minors.

It "should" mean that we start acknowledging mental illness for what it is and stop defining it in political terms.

Don Jr. and Eric are both hunters with guns and I suppose DJT has been in the past as well. He isn’t anti-2A.

Disturbed. Is the new term for Enlightened. Sorry I must have missed that definition change on “Wikipedia”

They would if I were president and they had the qualifications necessary. But I’d not put up with any of their leftist nonsense, even though I love them.

Doesn't matter.

If one of their freaks kills anybody....they're busted.
