Trump has signed more gun control laws in 15 months than Obama did in 8 years.

See, this is what I don't understand--you're well aware the Federal Reserve controls and manipulates the currency, so how do you reconcile that with patriotism and military worship? All wars are bankers' wars. The reason there are so many dead soldiers are the central bankers.

No he hasn't. In fact, he revoked Obama's gun checks for the mentally ill

They would've come crawling back to the U.S. begging to be readmitted. They would have had to modernize.

Remember also, blacks were still 3rd-class citizens in the North; the worst race riots happened in the North.

Little nuances like that are what's not taught in school.
It's 'little nuances' like that that make people assume you are Republican.

So Trump wants people to love and respect America, if you dont you can leave
and somehow you turn this into a comparison to Germany.


Or we could go Obama route, find ways to get mass shootings going to we can take
away our lawful right to own guns and protect ourselves so the Government then can
take total control. Now that sounds a lot like Germany and other place. Thanks to Obama.
Do tell what you are blathering on about. Obama 'got mass shootings going'?

This tells me you are not to be taken seriously.

Carry on.

Yes, he has.

From the right:

Quote:
Lawmakers in the Republican-led Congress managed to sneak into the $1.3 trillion omnibus that’s due for passage this week a measure that strengthens background checks on gun buyers.

Critics call it a step toward universal background checks and registration for gun buyers — something favored by the Democrats. And the site FixNICS | FixNICS.org, tied to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, does state: “NSSF is committed to advocating for all prohibiting records to be submitted to the FBI’s NICS database.”

Now it’s resurfaced in the omnibus.
Gun control's snaky sneak into omnibus | Washington Times

From the left:

Quote:
The omnibus included two provisions to help ensure that state and federal agencies are providing timely, accurate records to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) regarding individuals who are prohibited from buying and possessing guns.

Section 8106 of the omnibus requires the U.S. Department of Defense to report to Congress on its efforts to identify, pre-validate, and submit gun-prohibiting records to NICS—a direct response to the breakdown that allowed the Sutherland Springs shooter to buy his gun despite a previous conviction for domestic abuse.

The Fix NICS Act, which is incorporated in the omnibus, increases accountability for federal agencies that fail to submit these records and provides incentives for state agencies to improve their ability to effectively provide these records as well.

Why? History is nonpartisan.

Have you seen how many times I've noted how the U.S. hasn't fought a war for freedom in 200 years? The GOP military cultists hop on me like a cat in heat.
