While speaking to reporters Sunday morning President Trump said stronger background checks would not have stopped the mass public attacks our nation has witnessed over the past six or seven years. Trump said, I will say that for the most part, sadly if you look at the last four or five going back even five or six or seven years, for the most part, as strong as you make your background checks, they would not have stopped any of it.
He made these comments the day after a man in the Midland-Odessa region of Texas drove around shooting people while sitting inside his vehicle.
The New York Times reports that Trump assured reporters he is speaking with Republicans and Democrats on possible legislative efforts regarding guns, but no other details were forthcoming.
On August 5just days after the heinous attacks in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, OhioTrump called for bipartisan action for strong background checks. He reiterated that call on August 7 then appeared to slowly shift away from that position.
On August 20, Breitbart News reported Trump saying, We have very, very strong background checks right now. But we have, sort of, missing areas and areas that dont complete the whole circle. And were looking at different things.
On August 19, Politico quoted Trump saying, Congress is going to be reporting back to me with ideas. And theyll come in from Democrats and Republicans. And Ill look at it very strongly. But just remember, we already have a lot of background checks.

Now,
There You go Again.
Deserves repeating:
"The best defense is an offense. More armed citizens exercising their 2A rights anywhere, anytime, anyway. Constitutional Carry. Put these animals down where they stand and this sh*t will come to a screeching halt."
Donald trump confirms gun legislation is pn the way with his approval. A citizen will need another person’s approval to defend themselves and their families. Anti 2A president.
A criminal committed murder, which is illegal. So you think making something illegal can stop a criminal? The gun is a false flag. There are far more efficient ways to kill the masses, especially if you disarm them first.
Maybe not. Bump stocks, for example, were banned by the BATFE, not as a result of legislation. There's a lawsuit challenging that ban and guess who will have the last word? The Supreme Court, including Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and whoever replaces Ruthie. It looks to me like Trump is doing about as much as possible to defend the Second Amendment.
I suggest that Trump is like a verbal magician. While he is distracting people like Feinstein with his words, his judicial appointments are poised to have a generational impact on the courts and the Second Amendment.
He never was for gun control or background checks....all smoke and mirrors...you should know that by now.
I think the reason this happened is that the media has demonized the police. So the perp gets pulled over and thinks he will be shot so he opens fire first. Then after the initial shots he just went off the deep end. This is the medias fault...they have the blood on their hands.
It would help if I knew who those 4 guys were.

Thr kid is in all likelihood on psychotropic drugs for “ADHD” or “ADD”
They have thousands of these twisted people in their catalogue. They brought out this one to celebrate Texas’ new law.
all the same guy, the FLA school shooter...

>> “Hes backing off...” <<
We’ve been hitting his fund raising text messages hard about gun rights.
Keep it up, it is working!
Thanks.
Congratulations, Mr. President. You "get it".
welcome
That would have been MUCH better.
