Anyone think that Trump will piss off the gun nuts by asking for gun control?

[MrScorpio]

I'm sure that he's waiting to find out who did this so he could either soft-pedal the shooting (For a white guy), of engage in the painting of some non-white group for the actions of the shooter.

There are so many different ways that he's going to fuck-up the aftermath of this massacre...

Let us count the ways.

[exboyfil]

1. I am pretty sure this weapon is already going to have been illegal to own

It is sounded like a full automatic.

[MrScorpio]

3. I was under the impression that full-auto weapons are legal

Since the GOPs allowed the ban on those weapons to expire.

I could be wrong, but guns aren't my bag.

[exboyfil]

5. It takes a special license to own a full automatic weapon - very hard to get

The guns that have been legislated against (going back and forth) are semiautomatic which requires a finger pull with each shot. They have a slower rate of fire.

Still someone wit a semiautomatic could do almost as much damage as this nut with his weapon.

[MrScorpio]

7. Thanks for the clarification. nt

[BigmanPigman]

2. His base loves guns so of course he will support the NRA.

He will be relieved that there is a new distraction from the Puerto Rico disaster.

[MrScorpio]

4. True, true

BUT, he always finds a way to piss off his base over one thing or another.

One thing though, he's going to do his damnedest to make this bullshit all about him.

[joshcryer]

6. HAHAHA

No.

[Pachamama]

9. +1000

Make that a definitely No

Trump won't do anything to upset his gun-loving supporters, even letting them access and own automatic weapons without any controls.

[n2doc]

14. Totally agree n/t

[rogue emissary]

8. Nope, he'll go over the top racist first.

Especially, if the shooter is a minority or non-Christian.

[tymorial]

10. Pretty much guaranteed

[hexola]

11. I've been saying this since the beginning...Trump will do gun control...

His pal Rudy G is a gun grabber from way back!

[Voltaire2]

12. nope. that ain't going to happen.

[haveahart]

13. No. He'll just say the chmber maids should have been armed and wouls have prevented this

[burnbaby]

15. Guns sales will rise

My prediction,
People are afraid, no one can protect them. They must get a gun to protect their families (little sarcastic on he latter) but that's what I predict.

If this guy got his gun illegally then I double predict what I said above

this is just a terrible terrible thing.

[Cosmocat]

19. Cause you have paid attention

to what happens every god damned time.

This country is THAT fucking stupid.

[oberliner]

16. He was using an automatic weapon

Which is already illegal.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

17. No. Nt

[titaniumsalute]

18. No. That's the only group he hasn't alienated yet.

[phleshdef]

20. If only the victims were armed...

...yea, he probably won't be THAT stupid but it wouldn't surprise me.
