Trump: "A lot of the people who put me where I am are strong believers in the Second Amendment."

[Miles Archer]

Said it's a "slippery slope," and as it was just said on MSNBC, "slippery slope" is a Wayne LaPierre / NRA talking point.

Also said

"I think the Democrats would give up the Second Amendment..."

[redstatebluegirl]

1. So is he defending the second amendment, or threatening the rest of us.

[mobeau69]

2. The pukes got their marching orders from the NRA.

The only hope is to vote them all out of office.

[greatauntoftriplets]

3. That was quite a bragfest. As usual.

And that bit about Obama not wanting Putin in the G8/G7 meetings, as if it was a whim. What a shithead.

[Butterflylady]

4. Yes they did

And now we know who the crazies are.

[Vinca]

5. Can you imagine how he would react if Ivanka was the next victim of a shooter?

If the angry, young, white guy (and that's what it would be) used an assault weapon and hadn't bought the gun legally, Trump would immediately order everyone turn in their assault weapons and issue an executive order requiring background checks for every sale or transfer of a weapon. Further assault weapon sales would be banned. He'd then whine that the second amendment wasn't strong enough and that Obama should have fixed it.

6. Does he know there's a difference

between supporting the Bill of Rights and shooting people?

[Initech]

8. Yeah if you die in a mass shooting, you don't have any rights.

[Initech]

7. The NRA has turned the 2nd amendment into a weapon itself.

And that's one of the scariest things about this administration is that they coddle these nutjobs. The NRA really needs to be taken down a few pegs.

[pamdb]

9. 2nd

As a Democrat, I would love to get rid of the second amendment. I think, as a people, we’ve shown that we are not equipped, either mentally or psychologically, to handle it. If you want to ready to join the militia, join the damn army.

[lastlib]

10. Putin's boys are "strong on the 2nd Amendment"??

Is that why they gave the NRA (Natural Russian Agents) so much money??

[eShirl]

12. and Maria Butina

[spanone]

11. a nod to the NRA

[Yavin4]

13. Translation: Deplorable people put me here.

And I represent them not you.

[Kid Berwyn]

14. Torshin. Deripaska. Putin.

And their mon-ay.

[lame54]

15. How many deaths...
