Source: The Hill
President Trump took to Twitter Thursday to praise the National Rifle Association (NRA) and its leadership, calling them great people great American patriots who will do the right thing.
What many people dont understand, or dont want to understand, is that Wayne, Chris and the folks who work so hard at the @NRA are Great People and Great American Patriots, Trump said. They love our Country and will do the right thing. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Several testimonials and then called for suggestions- first one (Trump called on him) was a parent of a student from Parkland, I think, and his recommendation? Arm teachers....and off it went.
I let out a groan.

(12,601 posts)That's the either/or situation Trump and the NRA are putting forward. Even though I favor serious gun control, I guess I served all those years in the military for nothing. because by the Five Time Draft Dodger's standards I don't love my country because I don't wholeheartedly support the NRA's extremist agenda..
