  1. “Trump: We’ll see what can happen. But we’re always protecting our Second Amendment. I want to make it clear: Our Second Amendment will be protected fully.”

    Pump up his ego, and this big city boy is easily lured into a compromise that can kill his chance for re-election. This would mean that it will be sooner rather than latter that we would have to defend ourselves. Trump is clearly out to lunch, and full of it. If he talks about any new gun legislation as protecting the Second Amendment, it is time to raise as much scathing criticism, rebuking this slick rhetoric ….”our second Amendment will be fully protected” as he intends to give power to the Deep State that would determine who cannot own a firearm. This is mendacity is at it’s highest and stinking level.

    I would rather vote in Hillary and get it over with before I get any older, than support this POS any longer. I gotta new meme for AJ, ‘dump trump’.

  2. Re. Trump gun grabbing.
    Failure to understand that Republicans are an enemy of liberty is to have missed the whole lesson of America’s slide into gun control.

  3. “Trump: We’ll see what can happen. But we’re always protecting our Second Amendment. I want to make it clear: Our Second Amendment will be protected fully.”

    Trump is going to destroy the 2A to protect it.

    This reminds me of the crazy mom who drowned her kids in the bathtub to save them from the Devil.

    This is completely believable in the clown show country we live in.
