Considering how much he had flipped over the past week I don't have high expectations of anything.

Yeah, definitely waiting to see action, but he said this to a room full of governors. So at least he wasnt just playing to the room again.

Dont worry about the NRA, theyre on our side. You guyshalf of you are so afraid of the NRA. Theres nothing to be afraid of. And you know what? If theyre not with you, we have to fight em every once in a while. Thats okay. Theyre doing what they think is right.


If only everyone involved in politics could realize this simple truth rather than trying to paint "their side" as objectively right and the other side as literally evil.

You have to have a federal background check to buy a gun from a gun dealer. Everyone talks about "stricter background checks" but nobody wants to discuss what that means. You either have a record, or you don't. You want to violate HIPPA and release people's mental health records, all that's going to happen is people will forego mental health care because it will flag them for a background check later on and you end up with more crazy people with guns.

background checks are irrelevant when private sales exist

You're part of the problem. You realize that, right?

Know what this makes me think of? The California HIV laws.
The thinking being that making it a felony to knowingly have sex with people if you're HIV+ then people who are at risk won't get checked. So they reduced it to a misdemeanor and shit hit the fan.

Interesting how liberals defend one and conservatives defend the other.

When some other bought and paid for aide whispers in his ear, Trump will change his tune again.
