This is going to hurt Trump with the no-infringement-on-the-second-amendment-no-matter-what contingent, whose response to the Democrats attempting to do this very thing was THEY'RE TRYING TO TAKE OUR GUNS!!
It makes me wonder if Trump is trying to lose support from his base, because this will do it.
You think Trump's base aren't able to compartmentalize their thinking already?
No joke. Posters on this thread trying to make Trump supports seems stupid and sheep- like are half the problem and part of the reason nothing gets done in this country. Not everything is Left and Right and not everyone falls into one category. If you want to live that way, fine. Maybe some of us want it all to stop. It should be about what is best for Americans and our children. If Donald Trump can find a way to get NRA and Republicans to finally come around to stricter gun control, why not just be happy? Why turn in into a freaking war between who is smarter and who is clueless. Everyone needs to get off their collective high horses and take a good look in the mirror.
Read some of the posts (there are endless examples) of trump supporters against others trying to 'find a way' and get back to us. The hypocrisy is astounding.
Well well well, just like liberals were blasted for saying needed to be done. How many Trumpsters will now salivate and say what a great idea this is, as if no one ever thought of it before? How many Trumpsters will forget that liberals were blasted for wanting that very same thing?
Donald's tweet,
I will be meeting with the NRA, who has endorsed me, about not allowing people on the terrorist watch list, or the no fly list, to buy guns.
This is political pandering at it's worst and an insincere attempt by Donald to look like he wants to do something about the problem. He really just wants to save his flailing and failing presidential bid. First of all why does he have to go hat in hand to the NRA?, and who elected the NRA to anything?
If he were really serious, as the now leader, of the repub party, he would go up to Capitol Hill and demand that Mitch and Paul put their butts in gear and put legislation forth to deal with the problem. If either one of them would bring forth a Bill, prohibiting gun sales to those on a no fly/terrorist list and work with Democrats it would pass in about 5 minutes, and get BO's signature in a flash.
That's the way to deal with the problem not this clown show he is about to have with the NRA. If the NRA didn't change their position but instead doubled down, on their hard line, after those precious innocent children in the Connecticut got gunned down in cold blood, what makes anyone think they'll do something now? They won't and if Donald is serious I've just told him what to do.
But he's not serious and he won't - pitiful pandering is all this is.

and when is he having this meeting? Do you really think it will take place? He tweets all kinds of things, so who knows? And do you really think this will mean anything to NRA? Of course they endorsed him, who else would they endorse?
I'm confused about how asking the NRA's permission regarding gun laws fits with Trump's earlier statements regarding lobbyists.
Doesn't this meeting directly conflict with his policy? Even if he doesn't take money from them (though we don't know that he hasn't) what difference does it make if it is a quid pro quo deal?
Why wouldn't the NRA expect favors if this meeting resulted in the NRA 'allowing' Congress to pass this law, and it helped Trump in the election?
Would Hillary sign a bill that prohibited people being investigated by the FBI from buying guns and running for president? Serious question. Or is her candidacy more important to her than a way she thinks will save lives?
