Gotta pander to all the pussies and soccer moms.Says and does nothing.
Says and does nothing.
He said something. What is he supposed to do?
Well, for starters he could uphold some of his campaign promises, most notably the one about the assault on the 2A being over and blah blah. He could have had a lot of influence on doing something positive for the community when the republicans held everything but absolutely nothing happened. Hell, to be honest, I’m not sure the assault on the 2A has ever been as bad as it is right now. Maybe we are all just all jacked up thinking it’s worse than it is, but I don’t remember it being this bad even under Obama.

The president does not control what is done at the state level. The president is the not the emperor and can not do much all on his own. The republican party wasted an opportunity to get anything done during their super majority.
It wasn't worse in 1994 when they passed the first assault weapons ban? It wasn't worse under Obama when that administration and Bloomberg were running around paying democrats to pass gun control laws in other states?
How exactly did you think Trump was going to end the Democrats endless assault on the second amendment? Pass a law. ?? Maybe he should pass a law that said "the peoples right to keep and bear shall not be infringed." Surely that would work. Right?
Well then your memory is short. What do you think “fast and furious” was about? It was about creating a situation where they were going to make a case to restrict firearms sales. They fucked up and got caught.
Using the ATF no less to violate federal laws. And no one goes to prison. And short memory americans are why it gets to happen. But hey.....russians......
Do you know why federally nothing got done during the Kenyan presidency?
Do you need a civics class? Maybe some School House Rock? The president doesn't write legislation. The "legislature" has abdicated their jobs to bureaucracy. The unelected bureaucracy can't be held accountable for their actions.
This is a state thing now and the fed has little that they can do about it. Do you think that the ATF is going to take the state of Virginia to court? They are manned by communists!! Nevermind that nothing can be done until it's actually passed into law.

The Republic is in decline and we will not vote our way out of this in my opinion.
Do you guys read? My comments about him not doing anything specifically stated that nothing, absolutely nothing was done to further 2A rights when the republicans held everything. I’m not singling out the issues going on in VA, but I am referring to what didn’t happen when they had full control and the fact that Trumps own words were that the assault on the 2A was over. Do you feel like that is the case? I sure as hell don’t. Can the president act alone on making law? No, of course not, as mentioned above. But, he sure as hell can rally some support for someone to introduce or get behind something when they control the house, the senate and the executive. But we didn’t see any of that did we? Quite the opposite. That’s my point. Then again, I should probably cut him some slack because he has been fighting all this other bullshit since he has been in office. So, there is that.
I did read what you wrote. But I also saw that in the first two weeks of November 2016 that Trump was on an island by himself.Do you guys read?

When did you realize that?
"Do you guys read?" ??? Please gather your thoughts and think about what is happening, understanding that government is full of different parties with different agendas.
All those nevertumpers and republicans are sure behind the president aren't they? Yea, he sure could have rallied support for anything. All this politicians love I'm so much. Repealing Obamacare would be a breeze if he just got behind it. Wouldn't it? ?
Again, what law do you think would end the democrats endless assault on the second amendment? Did you ever think they would get enough politicians on board to repel the NFA? ??? Have fun in dream land.
He is probably working on what he thinks he can actually get done. A good executive pushes things aside that he knows he can't get done. Sure would be nice to remove all 2A restrictions, but here in the real world we have to deal with what we have. What we had was only two years to get anything done because a bunch of apathetic fucks sat home during the midterms. Then we would have had a chance to expose more republicans that are voting against us.
I don't think Trump's idea of an end of the war on the 2A is the same as yours. You need to understand your translation of what he meant might be different than his. He is a New York Fud.
Trump is an opportunist, his opinion changes to suit his agenda. He is not a man of principle but rather a man driven by the limelight. If it makes political sense to be pro gun, he will. Likewise if it benefits him to take an anti-gun stance, bet your house he will.
Unfortunately we are in agreement.
Shit....you must be young bucks. You shoulda seen the 70s, 80’s, and 90s. You want to talk about people being afraid to exercise our freedoms? We are LIGHT YEARS ahead of where we were back then. We have it better now than at any other point in my life.
The danger is, it can all be lost relatively quick. But we the people, are more connected and wise to their shit that ever. It is my belief that they’ve taken off the mask, and have over estimated their position. I am hopeful some things get set right; and that should have never been allowed to get this way. Time will tell.
Until then, keep your foot on the gas.
