I'll wait and see for a little while, but I'm worried that he's going to end up on the wrong side the 2A...Quote:

His kids are big into guns and hunting. Wait and see.
What is there to wait and see about? This is the president showing once again that he is not in favor of the 2A. Take a look at this one too:

Not willing to discuss getting CCW reciprocity as part of the bill either.
It may end up going nowhere . . . but the damage in terms of his message is going to be long lasting. Now you have a "Republican" president publicly backing gun control and making democrats actually giddy in a public meeting. And his comments about "due process later" are nothing short of abhorrent.Quote:

And this excuses the BS that Trump is pulling? I think not.Quote:

They're into exotic big game and other Ivy League FUDD activities. They could care less about the things 99% of this forum cares about.Quote:

We have to be able to ride out all of these panics, they only need to get lucky once.Quote:

It's hard to believe a guy who just got worked over by the "Deep State" and has his life threatened on a daily basis would disarm his constituency.
Conversely, GOP has been losing local elections. This may help get out the Conservative vote if folks get angry. They may want to keep a GOP Congress to hold the President in check.Quote:
