If you are honest...you will admit that Democrats are generally fine with expanding executive powers when it is their guy doing it too. This hypocrisy isn't unique to one party.
You do have a point to be made about each president pushing it further and the next Democrat president will do things that Republicans don't like.
I agree Dems do it too and I was opposed to the attempted use of a national emergency for the wall because I oppose that general trend.
The vast majority of gun owners and gun Rights supporters including the NRA are 100% FOR the legal law abiding safe use of firearms and they denounce the unlawful use of firearms.
What I find ironic is that the people that are against removing Illegal guns from the hands of criminals are the Democrats. They cite that cracking down on people that have illegally owned guns is somehow racist but if we take a place like the inner city of Chicago it is not white guys shooting white guys so who should the cops go after?
Comparing the illegal border crossing crisis to the illegal use of guns is ridiculous but I understand that it is not much of a stretch for a Democrat mind to put together.
The Wall would stop illegal border crossings.
Declaring a national emergency to outlaw and round up guns say after a mass shooting would not affect those who own guns illegally but it would potentially make felons out of Millions of Law Abiding Citizens.
It is very telling that the Democrats are looking to assist would be law breakers while potentially turning law abiding citizens into felons?
What epidemic ? Firearms violence has been on the decline. If you are talking about the stuff that happens in the inner cities, hell yeah , let's get that taken care of. How do you propose getting the guns from the criminals ?
As far as the law abiding firearms owners, we are protected by the Second Amendment. Good luck trying to go after that.
Of course it’s on the decline but so are illegal crossings. I’m saying that by the bastardized logic Trump is using to do this on the wall, the same logic would have to conclude that gun violence is also an emergency since it has killed far more people.
It has taken far more lives than all people any illegal aliens have killed or hurt.
So if Trump can go around Congress for the wall, get ready for the next D president to go full force on confronting the national epidemic of gun violence.
I didn’t want an expansion of executive power, but you cons seem ok with it to further your pet projects. You’ll have to bear that position in mind when the shoe is on the other foot.
You people are clueless. Such an action would run up against the Second Amendment.
It has taken far more lives than all people any illegal aliens have killed or hurt.

LOL Nancy Pelosi is that you?
Have you ever looked at your infallible CDC study?
Firearms related deaths, be it accidents, negligence, suicides, or homicides, are not even in the top 100 causes of death in this nation...

And as deaths caused by illegals are even lower, I’m glad that you agree that the southern border does not constitute a national emergency.
