You mean like the last one, or the one before that? Heaven forbid someone has notes. Talk about petty B.S.. That's what happens with TDS infection, being petty is a side affect.

Just so you're aware, there's treatment for TDS, even severe cases can be cured!

Look, at least Trump doesn't need a teleprompter every time he talks to a group and at least he can talk off the cuff without stammering and yammering like a complete idiot. Ummmm,ahhhh,uummmmm,ahhh,yeah,ummmmm.but ahhhh.
So he had some notes, so what...

Plus, our constitution gives every person in America, freedom. Freedom to live freely, without some maniac lurking around every corner with a chip on their shoulder, waiting to take us out.

You tell me. Where does this end?
Need is subjective. Your push back is your opinion and just that, whatever reason I give is just that, another opinion. The right to bear arms isn't about my opinion or yours as to what someone may or may not need.

I've been around 1000s of corners in some pretty huge cities, rural areas, both good and bad, and never encountered one of these "maniacs" that you suggest are lurking everywhere.

No, they're not lurking "everywhere"! That was quite obviously a figure of speech. However, the likelihood that you yourself, or an unsuspecting loved one, could become a victim of a mass-shooting, increases with time, if we decide to take no action to reduce gun prevalence and its lethality within our country.

No, the moment you think that Americans as a whole will complacently accept wanton widespread mass-murder of our innocent children and unsuspecting public, without taking some type of gun control action is the moment you've lost your mind!

Guns and especially certain gun types or features ARE a major part of the problem.

Another part of the problem is the natural propensity of human beings towards hatred, aggression, and violence. Something that firearms can only exacerbate!

CNN denies it, just like they denied their talking head Donna Brazile gave Hillary debate questions or when CNN reportedly staged an anti-ISIS protest in the U.K..
Yeah, they've got such a great track record of telling the truth.

Bolded for emphasis, in case some missed this.

I really wish he would have gone anyway and asked his question.
