As trump guy ..I do agree with left on few things

I am huge trump supporter

I do agree with the radical left on only a few issues and I am not afraid to say them

1) banning assault style weapons and high capacity clips and having huge background checks . Banning concealed guns !!!

2) breaking up the cartels in the tech world even through I think the far left is lying they will do this

3) environmental laws against endangered animals !! The cons are horrible on this

My biggest issue will be stopping immigrating from the 5th world and will vote trump again
I want all criminal illegals gone and a wall

 

I also feel the trump tax cuts have failed to help the middle class and only rich have benefited!!

I love the fact how Trump has stood up to our enemies, new trade deals and ended catch and release

 

Immigration is my top issue !! Trump

Guns is beyond insanity and the second amend must be altered

 

So you agree with Trump's immigration policy but your views on other issues are squarely in the democrat camp, yet you will likely vote for Trump? Interesting. Never heard this one before.

 

Well thought out Quasar44,

I too am a Trump supporter but being in the firearms industry I can honestly say with 300-500 Millions of guns out there, you will never keep guns away from people that want to do harm. I have no real solution to guns other than having you look at the concentrated areas that gun violence is occurring and if the laws on the books were enforced and mandatory additional sentencing was not being plea bargained away, you would see a marked difference in gang violence.
We need judges, not more than the already 25,000 gun laws that are already on the books.

 

I applaud the OP for his post. Maybe one day he will realize that the immigration thing is overblown and designed to keep him voting for people like Trump

 

We have laws against murder and illicit drugs but that don't stop the bad people. So laws against guns won't stop the bad people -- but a law will punish law abiding people. The only deterrent to some degree is harsh and swift punishment for those committing a crime with a gun.

 

Wrong on everything. Tax cuts help everyone. More money in the economy creates more private sector jobs increasing demand for labor which drives wages higher while simultaneously increasing production which keepsi inflation in check.

 

I agree, I think the key to stopping bad people with guns or just bad people hurting productive people is criminal justice reform. If I have to read another story about a 36 time locked up criminal released just to hurt someone else I'm gonna puke. I'm all for giving people 2nd chances but 36??? In alot of gun violence cases the offender had multiple run ins with police and we all need to have a serious conversation about what our goals are with criminal justice AND be realistic with ourselves that there are just some people who can't be saved all they can do is bring others down with them

 

Madmen and n'er do wells can never be stopped from committing mass shooter murders. Now the phenomenon appears in Thailand, of all places, but old peaceful, Siam has changed to very raw politics between the yellow shirts and the read shirt elites, and Buddhism is fading.

 

Yeah, great progress on that wall, eh? 99 miles of fencing replaced, ONE MILE of new fencing erected in the last three years. Promise kept! </sarcasm>

Trump is all talk, and he always has been.

 

Mass shootings are not really what I really worry about. The real "gun violence" is among the cartels and gang bangers in this country and in the liberal city I live nearby, 95% of all shootings occur in three or four concentrated areas no larger than a half dozen city blocks. Liberal mayors have given orders to police chiefs to stand down in order to hide real crime statistics and far-left attorney generals have further exacerbated the problem.
Weak prosecutors and liberal judges are the bain of our existence. Lock the little bastards up.

 

#1 nope to anything but yes to background checks.

I agree with #2.

#3 yes and no' we go over the top. in my city we spend many 100's of thousands to avoid inconvenience to our local owls and they are fkng everywhere! seriously everywhere ' they've become a serious nuisance l.

 

it seems like their is zero soliton

 

The US immigration invasion is the worst in history
I voted T before and will again

 

It is not overblown in the least. If it were the blue states would not be so compelled to get felons back into voting, early mail in voting, illegals able to obtain a drivers license which then allows the motor voter registration, ballot harvesting, etc. TRhe list goes on ron and you know that to be a fact.
1. Present a photo ID, including an address, at the polling place before voting.
2. Paper backup ballots placed in boxes watched by a member of the national guard.
3. Instead of a stupid I voted sticker, dip the little finger of every voter in ink what will not come off for a week.
4. Restrictions on early and absentee ballot voting that makes them the last to be tallied.

I am sure any rational person like yourself would love to see elections become more secure.
See how easy this is.

 

Walls and locked doors only keep out honest people. Did you read yesterday about the camouflaged ladders being erected to scale the walls???

 

There are always solutions but you have to eat the elephant one bite at a time.
Suicide? Guns make it easier but people will find a way.
Gang and cartel violence? Admit that if the sentencing was different and plea bargaining was somewhat curtailed and the "committed with a firearm" had some teeth, we all would be better off.
Minimize those two items and the stats drop like a rock.
Second tier,
I am not even opposed to some sort of reasonable rules regarding the transfer of a firearm to another person involving a private sale but you have to understand there are already laws that can hold the seller responsible for that gun for in some states up to a year after the sale. I said reasonable, not the $120 that CA charges for a transfer. All this involves a huge upscale in personel to handle the paperwork.
Lastly, sadly, we cannot ever eliminate the nut jobs bent on killing a lot of people at one time. Hardening our schools, training and arming our teachers is a big step and being taken in a number of states in spite of all the caterwauling of the lefties.
As proven daily, gun free zones seem to be the target of evil people and thank God for the armed citizens that stop crime on a daily basis.
Summed up, Keep your head on a swivel, get training, arm yourself, get more training, and you will walk through life with a completely different approach.
I have for the last 30+ years. In God we trust but carry a Smith & Wesson just in case.

 

I totally agree and I lost count how many times I've argued that the gun violence problem is not a mass shooting problem although they are tragic: so I'm not discounting them.

But for every mass shooting there is out there that gets all the media attention invariably you can go to Baltimore Detroit Chicago Los Angeles and see that multiple x more people died that same day through just standard gang-related drug-related violence.

And most importantly only a percentage of those deaths are actual criminals' lots of innocent deaths that we ignore while going over the top with 24/7 coverage when john doe shoots 9 people.

/rant

Focus on the 1% of neighborhoods that are the true problem and strengthen schools and public places. < statistically toughening up enough public spaces isn't going to make much of a difference but it will reduce the media hype.

99% of neighborhoods are very safe and 99.9% of gun owners are very safe just focus on the bad guys, agressively.

It certainly wouldn't hurt if the media didn't take a plane crash mentality to every mass shooting, but that wont happen.

 

Red flag laws must have concrete proof that a person is close to going off
. You can just fabricate and that person is screwed and it’s hard to get gun back

 

Inky pinky is an excellent idea.

 

Been used in a number of countries since 1962. Has been opposed by every democrat since Jan 2, 1962, as they could not find a way to clean it off immediately and go back in to vote again.
