It's nuts right? If they ban guns from protestors, what reason will they have to shoot them? What deadly weapon will they say...
Oh right, cars.
This is definitely a feeler. As soon as the blowback hits he’ll change topic and prevent like he never said it. Of course MAGA will forget it too
At this point it is just to aggravate the left side and direct attention away from the main issue, which is ICE murdering people. MAGA at this point only cares that they remain in power and they dismantle the liberal state. Everything else is chatter.
I'd even go so far to say that ICE murdering people is a distraction from the Epstein Files.
The best time to get the files was years ago, when Dems held power. The files are heavily redacted and useless now. You'd think the Dems would've used the files as ammo, but I guess that's a GOP strat.
Yah keep thinking that. The Epstein files are not the magic bullet you think they are.
hes getting spooked out....
Trump will betray literally everyone who trusts him.
He doesn't know what he is talking about most of the time and this time he didn't realize the camera's were on, or his honest feelings came out.
New yorkers have always known trump is a POS and will change his opinion to whatever gets him money and power. We all know he used to be a democrat, but changed to republican because the democrats hated him and knew he is a POS.
LMAOOOO!!!!!
He really is trying to make enemies of everyone heh. Those guys get mad enough, he may yet find himself perforated
Oh NOW it's a conversation they're willing to have. Not after 20 years of school shootings.
Fucking hypocrite cunts.
We're almost at 30. Columbine was 99.
The NRA and gun rights groups have condemned Trump's rhetoric.
Seems like it's just the UltraMAGA typical bootlickers that are rolling over for Trump.
Anything that fractures the republican base is a plus

Hahaha children are shot in the face. Who cares. A white man packing a concealed weapon is murdered by ICE. Oh noes we must have gun control!
Get the fuck out of here.
Edit: I'm laughing incredulously because the situation is so fucked.
And that white man didnt even USE his gun. So fucking funny.
It's about the feeling of safety. I mean could you imagine how terrifying it must feel just walking around a school, dragging a kicking and screaming 10 year old out and think to yourself... what if one of these kids has a gun and starts shooting! We all see it on the news every day... but it's so much easier to watch when it's just little kids trying to get about their day getting shot. It hits so much harder when it's 30 year old trained gunmen that might have to face being in the line of fire.
Or walking down the street just minding your business spraying pepper spray in peoples faces, and think to yourself, what if someone in this crowd has a gun. I'm only wearing 3 layers of body armor, and I've only got 15 friends around also armed with large assault rifles, gas masks, and tear gas to protect myself, maybe one person in this crowd, might have a weapon somewhere, and might even think about using it.
Or imagine the fear they feel every time they burst down someones door, with only 10 other soldiers, and a mere inches of riot shield in front of them to protect them from these people that have a small chance of owning a firearm somewhere in the house, these brave souls need protection!
I can't imagine what it's like to live in that kind of fear.

This isnt new from him. He said take the guns back in like 2018 "Take the guns first, go through due process second"
https://www.c-span.org/clip/white-house-event/user-clip-donald-trump-take-the-guns-first-go-through-due-process-second/4717030
2A still voted for him tho shrugs Something something libs take our guns.
Him and bondi were on camera at the start of this term with Bondi telling him that somebody charged with a crime, fed or state, the feds would come in and take their guns and even if they were found not guilty later the feds would decide whether they wanted to give the guns back or not. And the president was like huh okay.

California's strict gun control started with Reagan because he wanted to disarm the Black Panthers. Republicans are pro 2A, as long as it is reserved for white conservative/fascist people.
EDIT: Governor Reagan. So, before he became president, but 100 fold once he got shot.

They are clearly trying to ensure that they will never be subject to a legitimate election again. Minnesota is a test for how many constitutional amendments they can break. Presidential term limits are absolutely the target. When the oligarchs no longer need their cult they will repeal the entire Constitution. Welcome to the New Confederacy.

Will Trump be the one who solves the gun problem in the US?
Nope, because it will be, "Gun for me, not for thee."
So let's see, no Epstein Files, America First is out the window, prices keep rising, and now we're going to restrict the 2nd Amendment.
What exactly is MAGA in for now? The voracious Corruption? The virtuosic incompetence? The Pedophilia? Death Squads spontaneously forming firing squads and executing American citizens in the streets?
Does this look like the kind of freedom you were voting for?
Settle down people. This isn't what you think it is.
They're using this as an explanation of why Pretti was executed.
They're not suggesting that MAGA dickheads cant carry guns.
While irreconcilable to any thinking person. These two statements can happily co-exist in the minds of idiots.
This whole thing is "rules for thee but not for me".

Just like when gun control was brought to California when the Black Panthers open carried.

First he switched the right to pro-tariffs..
Then he switched the right to not-anti-pedophile...
Now switching it to pro-gun-control
Look, can he just hurry the fuck up and get MAGA to support socialism already? I don't feel like waiting this long
I want to agree, but knowing Trump it would be a national flavor of socialism :/
Nvidia is owned in part now by the USA. It's already there. Except he's jumping straight into a corrupt socialist state where the people see nothing and the government takes everything.
He just wants ICE, Fascists, 2A-toters and white rednecks to be armed.
He doesn't want blacks, LGBTQ and enemies of the government to be armed.

We do need gun control. For ICE. Those criminals should not be armed.
Yeah, they're an entity designed to enforce misdemeanors offenses. This is not something that should require being armed.
Oh now the ‘tHeY gUn GiT yEr GuNz’ asshat cares about gun control? How long till political affiliation counts as reason to revoke gun permits?

From the guy that defended Rittenhouse’s gun as a tool of “self defense.”
