Thread: Trump to announce gun control this week

  1. #121
    "victim disarmament" cannot be stated enough times. If people here are out on social media I hope they are spreading that since it really breaks the conditioning and makes people think. Those that support further legislation including Republican voters and pro-gun people are simply not using their head since to them on the surface it all sounds good until you dig a little deeper. They hear "common sense", "mentally ill', "SSRI", yet fail to realize it may effect them or people that are no threat to anyone. Since it is coming from Trump and a Republican they feel there is no threat to 2A or their gun ownership.

    They need to think about happens if they are a family member becomes a victim. Will they be flagged or as what happens to people that become victims of violent crimes they end up on SSRI's or seek therapy or see a Psychiatrist to help deal with it. The threat may even still exist but now they may no longer be able to protect themselves.

    Also, what about all the mentally ill people, like someone suffering from depression or some form of anxiety that are no harm to themselves or others. Will they now refuse to seek treatment since they do not want to be denied access to their guns or have their guns confiscated. Will people prescribed anxiety, depression or had symptoms of PTSD at one time in their life no longer be able to own a gun? What about domestic violence? Someone has a false accusation 20 years ago, will that preclude them from having a gun?

    The only thing that will stop the Trumps is vocal opposition from his own base.

    You can maintain your orange hero worshiping delusions if you want but most of us, being responsible, relatively well-adjusted adults have to face reality. Out here in the real world words and actions have real consequences and cause real damage affecting real people, especially if the people speaking those words and taking those actions are in positions of power. When it comes to important issues like victim disarmament it's dangerously irresponsible to play semantic games like you're doing in order to win an internet argument or maintain a personal delusion. Real people wind up getting hurt.

    Face reality. It'll be good for you.

    ROTFLMAO!!!

    But commenting on what Trump might do before he does it and condemning him for what you imagine he might do is just dumb.
    I'll comment when I know what he says.
    He's talked vaguely about "doing something," but whatever that "something" turns out to be, it will be to the detriment of the rights of gun owners (it's certainly not going to be a loosening of gun regulations). So why wait for the details to criticize him? If AOC comes out with vague talk about "doing something" about climate change, do we need to wait for the details to start criticizing her for pushing more interventionist economic policies (which is the only thing that that "something" could be)? Of course not. So what's the difference?



    O wait, I know...

    Does this apply also when Trump makes statements that you like?

    Say, about Afghanistan?

    Partially, but in that case the statement is often an action itself that helps move the political momentum, just like I said about his bad statements on guns.

    In this case we are waiting for Trump's statement and I have already said he should be criticized if it is bad.

    Again with the "IF it is bad."

    By all means explain what pissible statement on victim disarmament you think is likely or even just possible to be issued by the Trump Administration that'scanything but bad.

    There is no contradiction, if and when Trump says something bad he should then be criticized, he hasn't released the statement yet and people are attacking nothing.

    Bull$#@!. People are drawing logical conclusions based upon Trump's statements and actions to this point, and quite reasonably projecting what his next likely move will be. Your insistance that they're "attacking nothing" is ridiculous.

    Brilliant insight, not sure what it has to do with the topic at hand though.

    The bottom line is that Trump's made anti-gun statements, and you're defending him with this "wait and see" illogic.

    He has also made strong pro-gun statements, thus the wait and see logic for commenting on what he says.

    On the one hand he has made pro-gun statements but taken no real life action of any kind in a pro-gun direction. His statements, therefore, remain mere rhetoric.

    On the other hand, he has made many anti-gun statements and ALSO taken decisive real life action in an anti-gun direction (bump stock ban).

    Objectively the scales weigh heavily in an anti-gun direction.

    And your lot said it was just empty statements to appease gun grabbers.

    And some of you said it is a stupid accessory anyways.

    And one of you posted link after link to show you could still buy them.

    And then you couldn’t.

    And now having one (which millions of people do) can get you charged with possession of a machine gun.

    Quit being a bootlicker.

    Lol, that is the response to someone saying to wait for the actual content to judge it by it's merits and not your assumptions?

    Whatever this upcoming proposal is announced to be, you can bet your ass that it isn't any kind of roll-back or negation of already existing gun-rights restrictions. At best, it will be some wishy-washy wiffle that will please no one and which will only serve to encourage gun-grabbers and increase momentum for yet more gun-rights restrictions. And that's the absolute best we can reasonably hope for - and that's quite bad enough (so there's really no need to even get into how much worse it could turn out to be). So why shouldn't anyone who gives a damn about gun rights be "freaking out" over it (especially given Trump's previous gun-grabby shenanigans)?

    But whatever it turns out to be, I won't be the least bit surprised if the Trump apologists try to excuse, downplay and/or dismiss it out of hand, just as you are preemptively doing here. "Pretty funny," my ass ...
    Yea that is very cute.

    Where is the proposal? Has it been released yet? Have you read it?

    NO??? Well well well...

    I will judge the proposal by it's content whenever its released, not what people are guessing at what the content might be.

    You should try it out as well, its called not having a knee-jerk reaction.

    I remember some waiting for the actual content of Julian Assange’s indictment and condescendingly asking for specifics that he was facing more than five years.

    While those with a common sense level higher than a blind parrot knew that there was a secret indictment that would put him away for life.

    Imagine how special I felt that I wasn’t brainwashed enough that I couldn’t see through the bull$#@!.
