Derailing The “Gun Deal?”
BY Herschel Smith

… noting that Mr. Trump now really needs to keep his supporters rallied, a tweet from the president came across as bizarrely counterproductive:
“The Democrats are so focused on hurting the Republican Party and the President that they are unable to get anything done because of it, including legislation on gun safety, lowering of prescription drug prices, infrastructure, etc. So bad for our Country!”
Really? Now’s the time to demotivate the gun owners who put him in office? Not coming up with new infringements is what’s “bad”?
While he is also saying this.
In a fresh effort to dismiss the impeachment inquiry as nothing but a partisan fight with no real merit, Trump characterized the effort as a move by the Democrats to take things away from the voters who elected him as well as an attack on democracy itself. “The Democrats want to take away your guns, they want to take away your health care, they want to take away your vote, they want to take away your freedom, they want to take away your judges,” Trump said in the video. “It’s all very simple: They’re trying to stop me, because I’m fighting for you.”
I’m afraid he is so tone deaf to common Americans that he doesn’t realize that he’s already in serious trouble with gun owners, perhaps never to regain their trust or their vote, with the nomination of Canterbury to head the ATF, the bump stock ban, support for red flag laws, and apparent support for universal background checks.

I had forgotten something that I just ran across again in my notes, yes, I keep notes. It was the Veterans 2A protection act that Mr. Trump instituted. What it purports to protect is Veterans from having their rights taken by the VA. Sounds good so far, but the law goes on to say that a judge is the one who strips them of their rights and orders their guns seized. Doesn’t sound so good anymore does it? It protects veterans 2A rights by the federal government granting itself the right to disarm veterans, no jury, no crime, no evidence, no lawyer. It’s Red Flag laws for veterans. I had forgotten about that.
Thank you Mr. Trump and MAGA to you to pal.

What makes anyone think he’s not playing both ends against the middle? The dems do it all the time – say one thing to one group and something else to another trying to appease everyone. Not that the dems care about appeasing the right these days.
