Trump also said, “I don’t want people to forget that this is a mental health problem. I don’t want them to forget that, because it is. It’s a mental health problem.”
During an August 15, 2019, “Keep America Great” rally in New Hampshire, Trump said, “It’s not the gun that pulls the trigger.”
He added: “We can’t make it harder for good, solid, law-abiding citizens to protect themselves. We will always uphold the right to self-defense, and we will always uphold the Second Amendment. We will.”
President Trump appears to be shifting away from the background check push he undertook in the immediate aftermath of the attacks in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio.
On August 5, 2019, Trump floated the idea of “strong background checks,” saying, “Republicans and Democrats must come together and get strong background checks, perhaps marrying this legislation with desperately needed immigration reform. We must have something good, if not GREAT, come out of these two tragic events!”

How would "universal background checks" be enforced without violating the 4th and 5th Amendment rights of a seller and a buyer? --Ron W
ReplyDeleteOur 'betters' don't care. :(
DeleteOH, they care, which is why they EXEMPT THEMSELVES from their laws. But their "useful idiot" supporters and even the, "I don't own a gun, I don't care" crowd, don't think that "what goes around, comes around"... gunowners and 2nd Amendment people are being treated just like the Jews in Nazi Germany.
