    You don't go bankrupt several times and build a fortune by being afraid of risk. That's the non politician in him. But it is a political move and that does hurt the outsider image

    Slightly off topic but if you genuinely believe Trump is an amazing business man, I recommend you check out this documentary about him. I know you'll be skeptical and call it fake news but give it a chance.

    I'm just saying that the liberals he might make happy by cozying up with feel good anti-gun rheotoric still aren't going to vote for him - they hate him. But people like me who did vote for him because we thought he wouldn't fuck with the 2nd Amendment might just stay home next time around. Most gun nuts I know are single issue voters and they have a long memory. I got about 20 texts just yesterday from people saying they'd never set foot in a Dick's Sporting Goods again.

    Trump better be careful. If he loses the NRA, it's over for him.
    That I agree with. Trump should have had a few meetings with the NRA and had them come up with some meaningful guidelines. Better background checks and stuff like that. But in a way that protects the second amendment. And gun nuts can agree with the legislation and everyone is happy.

    That's never going to happen.

    Its easier to fund raise than solve.

    And the solution isn't that hard. Trump's plan is sloppy as usual but if it goes through congress and gets SCOTUS approval we will have DONE SOMETHING

    The media really does control this country. Widespread reporting of students killed in a school shooting, a phenomenon so rare that your child literally is 1,000x more likely to get cancer, making it statistically a non-issue, and next thing you know we are looking at trading in more of our rights to try and prevent it because most people are too stupid to realize how effective individual effort can be in terms of combatting crime.

    We're literally going to get to the point where we trade our very last ounce of freedom in order to help prevent 1 out of every billion people from dying per year from God only knows what. We'll have traded all of our freedoms for safety. Life will be shitty, but at least it will be plentiful. Perfect.

    Yes the media does control the country. But now days, the people have a louder voice with the use of social media.

    Do you feel the same way about terrorist attacks?

    True. The pure Hate that exists for Trump among liberals makes the Teabaggers hate of Obama seem like a Book Club disagreement.

    Trump could open up the borders, mandate that Women make 10% more than males for the same job, and call for 50% mandatory alternative energy by 2020 and the #resistance still wouldn't vote for him.

    I agree with your analysis. As I have said, I'm not a gun guy but I'll shoot anyone that wants to take yours.

    This is a political move by a non politician that could in fact backfire.

    There is concern that the sheer volume of the anti gun crowd after yet another shooting could have an impact this November.

    Personally I don't listen to moderates who vote democrat anyway and prefer scorched earth Trump but he's working the crowd.
    nah. but it has confused the fuck out of doogie.

    Wrong. Doogie initially wanted local solutions until Trump put forward a federal agenda. Now Doogie wants higher taxes to increase funding for armed school guards, teacher weapons training, mental health support services and a stronger social media police state presence while also limiting access to assault rifles and automatic weapons modifications.
    If I like my police state, can I keep it?

    I fully expect Stable Genius to backtrack on his comments yesterday about guns. Followed shortly by doogie doing a complete 180 on his stance as well. What a coincidence!
