      It’s nuts right? If they ban guns from protestors, what reason will they have to shoot them? What deadly weapon will they say…

      Oh right, cars.

    So let’s see, no Epstein Files, America First is out the window, prices keep rising, and now we’re going to restrict the 2nd Amendment.

    What exactly is MAGA in for now? The voracious Corruption? The virtuosic incompetence? The Pedophilia? Death Squads spontaneously forming firing squads and executing American citizens in the streets?

    Does this look like the kind of freedom you were voting for?

      At this point it is just to aggravate the left side and direct attention away from the main issue, which is ICE murdering people. MAGA at this point only cares that they remain in power and they dismantle the liberal state. Everything else is chatter.

          The best time to get the files was years ago, when Dems held power. The files are heavily redacted and useless now. You’d think the Dems would’ve used the files as ammo, but I guess that’s a GOP strat.

    First he switched the right to pro-tariffs…

    Then he switched the right to not-anti-pedophile…

    Now switching it to pro-gun-control

    Look, can he just hurry the fuck up and get MAGA to support socialism already? I don’t feel like waiting this long

      Maga core beliefs go out the window the minute trump says something different. Remember how they were against miltary intervention in foreign countries, especially in the middle east? Well now they’re gung-ho for it. They’re singing that Barbara Ann/bomnb Iran song on the conservative forums right now. There’s a little grumbling from a few of them about trump and minions saying you can’t take your guns to protests, but most are already rationalizing it (because it’s the ‘libtards’ getting shot for it). Pretty soon they’ll all be cheering on the Big Beautiful Gun Roundup.

    He doesn’t know what he is talking about most of the time and this time he didn’t realize the camera’s were on, or his honest feelings came out.

    New yorkers have always known trump is a POS and will change his opinion to whatever gets him money and power. We all know he used to be a democrat, but changed to republican because the democrats hated him and knew he is a POS.

      Nobody is having that conversation because of a comment Trump made. Literally no change to gun rights is being proposed or even suggested. People are drawing unfounded policy conclusions from nothing.

    Hahaha children are shot in the face. Who cares. A white man packing a concealed weapon is murdered by ICE. Oh noes we must have gun control!

        It’s about the feeling of safety. I mean could you imagine how terrifying it must feel just walking around a school, dragging a kicking and screaming 10 year old out and think to yourself… what if one of these kids has a gun and starts shooting! We all see it on the news every day… but it’s so much easier to watch when it’s just little kids trying to get about their day getting shot. It hits so much harder when it’s 30 year old trained gunmen that might have to face being in the line of fire.

        Or walking down the street just minding your business spraying pepper spray in peoples faces, and think to yourself, what if someone in this crowd has a gun. I’m only wearing 3 layers of body armor, and I’ve only got 15 friends around also armed with large assault rifles, gas masks, and tear gas to protect myself, maybe one person in this crowd, might have a weapon somewhere, and might even think about using it.

        Or imagine the fear they feel every time they burst down someones door, with only 10 other soldiers, and a mere inches of riot shield in front of them to protect them from these people that have a small chance of owning a firearm somewhere in the house, these brave souls need protection!

        I can’t imagine what it’s like to live in that kind of fear.

        Him and bondi were on camera at the start of this term with Bondi telling him that somebody charged with a crime, fed or state, the feds would come in and take their guns and even if they were found not guilty later the feds would decide whether they wanted to give the guns back or not. And the president was like huh okay.

      I think this is more intended to remove the citizen population’s ability to retaliate against a tyrannical government. You know the thing the second amendment was intended for, according to some folks.

      A lot of good regulation only happened after the privileged started complaining/suffering. It is what it is. I would take it, but I don’t think it will happen with this “administration”.

            I’ve always said all legislators should be required to walk through the aftermath of an event like sandy Hook or Uvalde before they are allowed to vote on gun legislation. And while I understand why parents would never want video of that made available to the public, I also think it would make a huge difference in public opinion if it was–that’s why I say at least the lawmakers should have to see it (and sight isn’t the only sense of it they’d never forget).

              I have no doubt of any of that. They wont make it public and all the reasons they use will never be their reason. They don’t want us to see how they failed. That a exonerated coward stood by while it was happening and broke his oath doing so. That none of of the law enforcement on site had the courage to go in and end it. If that video would have been made public though it would have not changed the politicians that much. Far too many of them lack the ability to feel the pain of others. Its how they got to where they are.

                No, you’re a troll, because he’s not suggesting they disarm the entity that was murdering people. He wants to disarm the people who are getting murdered.

                It’s not the video causing him to make this statement.
