President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Stop with the amateur psychobabble bullshit.

 

SHS damn near lost it to open the newser. But, of course, recovers in time to tapdance around the first question.

 

"Lost it" how?

 

She seemed very near tears. But she's back on her game now. Every question is being answered with a variation of "I don't know" or "we haven't talked about it," with an occasional "now is not the time to talk about this."

 

Trump's mostly right.
Short of banning private firearm owners and confiscating privately owned firearms, there's not much you can do about it. You couldn't ask gun shop owners to give mental health exams to everyone buying in excess of 30 rounds of ammo. This killer is mentally ill only by the definition of shooting at a thousand innocent people from a hotel room makes you, per se, crazy. But the guy has lived 62 years without evidencing mental illness worthy of note. How do stop pyschopaths?

There are no such people as rational gun rights advocates. They are in favor of treating islamic terrorists like they want Billy Bob the Arkansas hunter treated

 

Whenever these attacks happened under Obama, he urged a focus on "law and order" and "greater vigilance."

Ben Carson said he would have caught the bullets in his teeth, or something like that.

 

Ben Carson is an awesome surgeon and terrible about everything else.

Obama was handcuffed by being thoughtful and self aware. He wouldn’t say anything more because they only answer to solving mass shootings is banning guns or stringent gun control and restricting manufacturing of firearms. Stringent means licensing guns and limiting ammo. No one needs more than 30 rounds unless they are in a war or the 18th century wilderness

 

It was brilliantly laid out. Only thing they got wrong was that flynn "lied" to pence. (although technically it may be right, but pence knew about it)

 

"If it saves just one life, it's worth it."

 

If you go target shooting you are going to need more than 30 rounds if you plan on shooting for more than 5 or 10 minutes.

 

Insufficient reason to allow individuals to have that much firepower. If you need the practice, go to a range and buy your ammo there. Use it all there. My cars speedometer goes to 160 mph. Can’t use it in public.
