Donald Trump vows to veto any new gun regulations

[SecularMotion]

Donald Trump pledged to veto any additional gun regulations should he be elected president, telling voters on Monday that the perpetrators of mass shootings “always find a way to get something, whether it’s a gun or otherwise”.

“We have tremendous regulations already, a lot of people don’t even realize,” the Republican presidential candidate told a New Hampshire town hall hosted by NBC’s Today show. “People aren’t abiding by them, government does a terrible job of enforcing them, but we already have tremendous regulations.”

Trump added that easy access to guns was a problem that could be solved by law enforcement, saying: “You’ve got to enforce what we’ve got right now, and there’re plenty right now.”

He then contended that mental health issues were the core issue of the United States’ continuing run of mass shootings, of which there have been at least 1,000 since a gunman killed 26 people, mostly children, in Sandy Hook, Connecticut, in December 2012. After several recent shootings, including the killing of nine people in Roseburg, Oregon, at the beginning of this month, gun control has re-emerged as a major issue in presidential campaign politics for the first time in 15 years, when the Columbine high school massacre haunted the 2000 election.

you are going for the guilt by association fallacy. What do you expect him to say?

I don't give a shit if he were passing out free guns, I wouldn't vote for him. Aside from choosing the wrong party, he happens to be in the gambling and construction business, admitting to "buying politicians", and I don't like appealing to bigotry. In fact, I don't like bigots regardless of their ideology. I called out Mike Papantonio for playing on anti Mormon bigotry, and I'm sure everyone here knows that. That said, there is no way I'm cutting this over privileged dim wit any slack when he does it to Carson's religion.
I'm very priggish on things like that.

For the record, the family I did the computer work for, are better Wyomingites than fucking Dick Cheney ever will be.

6. The question is, will it hurt him more than calling for strict gun laws hurts Democrats?

The answer: Nope.
