Grade should be more like an A-. Good that he showed support for the affect communities, however he now looks to be supporting a one size fits all federal legislative response to these tragedies. That could only spell trouble for the second amendment with today’s political climate. If done wrong more than the 2nd amendment could be negatively affected as well for the whole country. Remember, our bill of rights originated with the states, and that’s where this issue should stay.

MORE BACKGROUND CHECKS ?
Background checks do nothing to stop crazy people or hyperviolent criminals from committing shootings, mass or otherwise.
As proof, I give you the DEMOCRAT controlled utopian city Chiraq.
Check out the latest stats (body count) at heyjackass.com, if you dare.
If POTUS capitulated to the Left by restricting the 2nd Amendment even more they would
then be well on their way to complete firearms confiscation quickly followed the overthrow of our Republic.
POTUS carried out his responsibilities just fine under very trying circumstances and he deserves nothing but praise
for doing so.
We all know the Demsheviks will never be satisfied.

The Democrats are “chomping at the bit” for national legislation that would give Mental Health “Professionals” the power to determine which Americans should not have access to guns. And since all American Christians are “homophobic,” they obviously are mentally deranged, which naturally makes them a clear and present danger to the LGBT agenda. The President should proceed very cautiously as he considers any legislation that restricts gun ownership. His voter-base is watching. No matter what he does, President Trump will never gain the approval of the Left. And so long as the Democrats (now Communists) and their propaganda arms in Hollywood, television and MSM continue to spew violence, immorality, and mocking anger toward traditional Christian values, there will be more frequent shootings. And that’s exactly what the Democrats/Communists have wanted all along. They manufacture and disseminate the illness, then they “come to our rescue” and legislate the “cure.”

F. He couldn’t even remember the names of the locations where the shootings took place. He is also doing nothing to actually tackle the issue of why these young boys are getting these military style weapons.

I think he did a good job in spite of all the flack from the socialists. I’m sick and tired of what is transpiring with the media with help from the “20” candidates calling for gun control. What they really want is to confiscate guns from every citizen that lawfully owns firearms. They want desperately to change the second amendment. Secondly….. I’m fed up with them labeling President Trump a racist and white supremacist. They are calling every Trump supporter the very same!

F– He handled the presidential responsibility just fine. However his call for further gun legislation, after promising his base to defend the 2nd Ammendment, is totally wrong. We got him elected. And like the good politician he is, he goes in the direction of the strongest wind

Everyone of your choices is anti 2nd amendment. You claim to be the alternative to AARP but your bias toward the 2nd Amendment is the same. Without the 2nd all of our other rights are in danger. Banning or restricting our rights will only make America more socialist. All of the amendments in the Bill of Rights limit Government not the people. On this subject you are lock step with the AARP and Socialist-Democrats. You are supposed to support the people.

I think Trump was very reserved… for Trump.
I think Trump should require the Dems and RINOs to put their skin in the game. See if they are Serious about eliminating Human Murders. Right to Bear Arms is the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution of the U.S.A. It does not specify (intentionally) what arms are because the intent is to arm a citizen Militia! Notice… Militia is in the Constitution! So, to change the Constitution requires 2/3 votes in the Congress and 3/4 of the States must ratify. However, they are passing these little “fringe” bills nipping away at the constitution by limiting the definition of Arms.

However… Trump should offer up an Assault Weapon Ban, Enhanced Background Checks, and Intrusion into Medical Records (required by Red Flags)…. If, the Dems are truly serious and want to eliminate Murders, they would easily give up Abortion which is not a Constitutional Right! If they hold onto Abortion, they are just using these deaths as Political Points stunts.

Conservatives are just as impassioned to hold onto their Constitutional Rights as Liberals are to Court Ordered murders. My guess is… The liberals are just using these deaths as Political Points stunts!

Trump has unapologetically stoked hatred and racism in this country. At one of his recent rallies he asked what we should do with illegal immigrants and someone in the crowd yelled “shoot them” He just smiled and made a joke out of it. Now that has happened and we can count on more. A real leader would have called this out from day one but white nationalists are part of his base and they vote. And after all… for him it’s about winning… everything he does is in pursuit of that goal. I’m so tired of hearing that no common sense gun legislation would work… or that there are too many violent video games or mental illness is to blame. Other countries have those problems too but nowhere near the gun violence we have here. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome. We need to DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

We don’t need any legislation. You can’t legislate hate from people and a person determined to kill will find a way. Don’t touch the Second Amendment the Constitution is what makes us uniquely America.

Red flag ? laws are not the answer. Condemning and doxxing the NRA is not the answer. Enforcing the current laws is a good place to start. Clear headed thinking is a good place to start. Teaching of a strong moral character is definitely the place to start correcting this moral depravity. Progressiveism, which in reality is regressiveism and Socialism are not replacements for current social structure. WAKE UP, people!

Your “POLL” is biased against American’s Second Amendment right to keep and bear ARMS. So, you can take whatever “POLL” results you get and put them where the sun don’t shine. The criminals who perpetrated these recent mass shootings bought their firearms from legal dealers and PASSED the required “Background Check”. “Red Flag Laws” are a stepping stone to the denial of American’s other Liberties and the advent of Democrat sponsored Tyranny. AMAC is no better than AARP and I won’t be renewing or supporting you any further.

While the President’s actions and policies are often admirable, he diminishes the power of the office by engaging in name-calling and mud slinging. It would benefit him to learn how to push back strongly and respectfully simultaneously.

President Trump is doing everything he can do constitutionally. It is also up to we the people to do what we need to do to stop this. We the people in the Constitution means much more than just what we’re going to get from it, it also means what we can give to it as our great President John f Kennedy said. “Ask not what our country can do for me but what we can do for our country.” That died with President Kennedy and the opposite idea was brought forth by President Johnson and the DNC, “Big Government”. President Trump is trying to once again turn it back to what we can do for our country not what our country can do for me. Less Government, supported by President Trump and most of the GOP and AMAC.

My opinion is not original. Better background checks may help. We have very strict background checks in MA. We , as a nation, do not have a gun problem. We have a people problem. I’ve haven’t noticed any outcry over motor vehicles,clubs,knives,et al that are relevant to death.

I agree with Marie! I too am sick and tired of the garbage being spouted by the left! I truly believe the huge fissure in race relations began the day Obama was inaugurated! Remembering his speech he gave after he had won the presidency “we are just 5 days from fundamentally transforming the Unites States of America”. Being supported by the likes of George Soros and his ilk, he had unlimited funds to do just that! Talk about your racist, american hating, bigot! Obama gave license to his racist, bigoted, jerk friends such as Al the race baiter Sharpton, Jeremiah Wright, who is WRONG, and the so many others set free to continue to drive the wedge between race relations! but enough of that….. the gun did not shoot itself. A crazy unstable racist bigot did. Trump and his supporters don’t hate people! The rabid left has shown time and time again that THEY do!

We have to fight not to let Communists in this country to take over America. I came from a communist country. The government could do whatever it wanted.Total control of the people. The result was that people had to fight to find food and everything else necessary to survive not mentioning to live with a dignity as humans. I will never forget this. Al the Congress Communists should be sent(voluntarily) to Venezuela or Cuba or somewhere else where communism blooms They should live there as a regular citizens without any help of the dollar.And we will see what is going to happen.If they do not change their minds after this kind of experience it means that they want us to perish as humans.

I appreciate and applaud Trump’s timely visits and empathy. I think he should have used his position to emphasize the issue is not the gun, it’s the mental state of the individuals. Mental state as related to clinical diagnosis or that from of a product of social acceptance through the corrosion of our moral values and influence movies “The Hunt” and video games “Call of Duty” have on our youth. We have to retake our moral values of family, success through hard work, not everyone gets a trophy, … It’s the individual not the gun that kills. Recent example, an individual killed several people injuring others with two knives. Do we hear for a call to ban knives from society. Google “knife attack,” as of the time of this post six different knife attacks killing and injuring individuals occurred in the last two days. So President Trump put focus where focus is due.

Red Flag laws – shouldn’t be a consideration. Points people highlight that should put people on a “Red Flag” list are already crimes. Enforce laws already on the books.

I couldn’t vote above.

I must be reading a different poll than some folks on this thread because question number 1 says noting about infringing on our 2nd amendment rights nor has a President Trump. Every defense tool I’ve ever purchased required a background check that took 15 to 20 minutes and I’m still free to purchase, own and use those tools.

I say absolutely NO legislation what soever concerning the control of guns. Certainly, no
“Red Flag” laws. The Swamp is looking for any hook they can get to rid their selves of any opposition to control and power. We have no law in this country and will not have until those responsible with in the hierarchy of government are brought to Justice. Donald Trump give us Justice.

He did as much as he reasonably could. Did even the great unifier of people, Obama, stop this from happening? Gun confiscation is not the answer. “Red Flag” laws are highly subjective to interpretation and with the liberties our law enforcement community takes, anyone could be subject to having their privacy invaded and end up in jail or dead for no reason. While it is tragic to see these mass killings, there are any number of reasons for them and the cause is the individual who makes the choice to commit murder. Few are complaining about the tens of thousands of lives lost due to incompetence, errors and drug interactions withing the medical community. A life lost is a life lost no matter the reason. We seem to have degrees of tragedy, but all loss of life is tragic in some way. Believing that a government who cannot even operate a postal service efficiently can somehow control all individuals and stop tragic deaths is an exercise in legerdemain. The politicians, both sides, have no clue and they usually go with whichever way is best for THEM, not US.
