I said this in another thread but Trump has one main goal during his tenure and that is immigration reform. He'll move on anything else if he can get this across the line, including our gun rights. Every President has that one thing he strives to achieve. While I think his base is largely pro gun and he may not go full retard on gun control, I'm betting there is a certain tolerance for gun control he's willing to go with.
The one thing I like in his speech was the need for better mental health coverage in this country and specifically his statement that people pull the trigger, not the gun. Not sure if that has legs or not, but it's an interesting statement.
Finding a club w/o NRA membership requirements is easy but you might have to drive a little.I think Trump is assuming that immigration reform can be bundled with gun control so he can have "a win". But here's where Trump made a math error. He is not counting on Nancy Pelosi would deliver. Do you think for a second that she is going to hand Trump his immigration win? It's going to be a watered down mess to make it through congress and in the end Trump's wall will be 5 miles long except for a new 10 lane highway specially built for human traffickers who will be able to cross the border unimpeded. In the final analysis Trumps decision to sign the new law will in retrospect be viewed extremely negatively.
Over the last few years I have evolved into a single issue voter and that's where I stand. If I can have this particular right kept safe from republicans then they don't deserve my vote and that includes Trump. If asked for advice from someone I would suggest to vote for someone else.
One last thing if Trump signs any new red flag laws and shows up to give his rah rah speech at the next NRA convention then I am done for life with the NRA. They can stick it where the sun doesn't shine. In fact I'll gladly give up my range membership if I have to and go find a new club to belong to that doesn't require NRA membership to join.
Oh,killy games. Rather spend my time and money on guns and ammo.
Trump is playing the game. His BS about red flag is more disturbing than some pimple poppers video war games. Maybe if he bans violent vid games well see real muscle cars again instead of roller skates with no exhaust.
May be its a 4th level chess move?
The Democrats are against anything Trump is for, So if he
is for Gun Control, Maybe they will oppose it?

This. Me thinks op never really knew the man at all.He is a lifelong democrat. He registered republican in 2012.
I will vote for him again, but let's not be delusional about his background.
Blaming video games is not the same as trying to censor video games. I definitely believe certain video games help mass shooters perform their acts. This is mentioned in the book Generation Kill, how Marine Corp instructors said most WWII 18 year olds struggled to pull the trigger on other human beings and were shocked by the results when they did. They observed how games like Call of Duty allowed modern kids to pull the trigger without hesitation.
Games like GTA allow these kids to act out their mass murder in simulation with great detail, and gory games allow them to mentally prepare themselves for the resulting carnage.
The hard part is what to do about it. IMO the best thing is to shine a light on the issue. Government Censorship is not the answer. Unfortunately the news media won't mention video games in relation to mass shootings because they're owned by the same companies selling the games.
I think people need to realize that Trump probably doesn’t really care one way or another about MOST issues including guns. He is all about winning, whatever it takes. He’s not beyond lowering himself to win. As such, he’s subject to the whims of whoever is whispering in his ear at a given time if he thinks he can gain an advantage by it.
LOL that would be some epic trolling. Trump: "We should immediately confiscate, by force if necessary, every single firearm within our borders. Even black powder rifles are capable killing machines, so they must go too." Liberal heads would explode! Oh wait, conservative heads would explode too...
I don’t care why he’s doing it. He’s turned this country around from what obama did to it. Damn right I’m voting for him again. No president will ever be elected if they lean to far left or right.Yeah, I think you're right unfortunately. The man has such a immense competitive drive that I think the sole reason he even ran was to prove he could. And the sole reason he's trying to build the wall is because he seen 3 people fail in doing so and wants to just win. He's a winner in life. I give him that. But I do question how emotionally invested he actually is in some of the issues at hand or if he just says things to win at this point.
I honestly feel this was just a pander to try to swing left votes his way. He knows if he even gets 10 percent of the left on board he'll win by a landslide. But I think he needs to be careful that he doesn't lose a chunk of the right wingers in the proccess.
