Watching this photo op, gun shit show on tv with chump. Why in TF

doesn't someone ask the ass why the White House, all of his rallies, airports and planes are all gun free zones?

He's hell bent on the arm the teachers BS. Probably 'cause it's the NRA's favorite "answer".

a school still has to be a gun free zone . We can't have schools where any armed ,drunk idiot can just walk in.

Here is a proposal to remove any hint of hypocrisy and bullshit from their narrative:
Have the NRA and GOP headquarters, as well as any conferences or gatherings of those two groups, post signs at every entrance that say "CONCEALED AND OPEN CARRY OF FIREARMS ENCOURAGED AT THIS LOCATION."

That would clearly make the venues safer, and protect them from armed assaults by the mentally ill, ISIS, liberals or George Soros. And it would show that they, unlike their opponents, have a position of philosophical consistency and not political expediency.

But, don't hold your breath.

This might be one issue where Trump can be forced into a corner.

In the meeting:
He forcefully opposed conceal carry reciprocity in the bill.
He wants to lower the threshold for confiscation.
He wants to raise age to 21 for rifles.

He still likes arming teachers but that seems to be left up to states. Let Texas arm their teachers in some districts but don't shove it down the throats of other states.

sell to you unless you have a permit. Don't know who it was. chump cut him off. Chump said the criminals wouldn't get a permit. The guy tried to explain to chump that that was the idea. Undercover cops could make arrests on the spot.

I've never heard much about this but my first reaction is that it's worth considering.

Chump's so full of himself. All BS.

I would have loved to have heard that brought up.

The permit idea is good only if you have permanent records of gun sales. But it would put straw purchases in greater jeopardy.

Lead off with registration and settle for permits.

guy with a gun" inside the school. As if a person with an AR-15, who's bent on killing, would never consider facing a teacher with a pistol.
