Trump on guns: "If you stop a man from having 55 guns, "he would have had 55 bombs."

[kpete]

Trump was pressed about mass shootings and gun control last month, by Piers Morgan. He argued that if you stop a man from having 55 guns, "he would have had 55 bombs."

1. What A Fucking Piece Of Horse Shit He Is

God Damn I get so pissed off that he gets away with statements like this. WHERE IS THE FUCKING MEDIA TO CALL HIM AN IDIOT?

Because it's clearly as easy to build a bomb, as to walk into Walmart and pick up a gun. Or TWENTY GUNS.

8. I am sure that if his family was shot he would have a different opinion.

That's how it always happens with the gun lovers out there. Fucking Moron and his NRA, Religious Right, GOP pals get rich and pray for the victims. Lovely!

2. How about giving tRump 55 years in prison?

3. Untethered from facts and reality

This is the kind of bullshit rightwing idiots fall for. Facepalm.

4. Sadly, that isn't the dumbest thing he's ever said.

Close.

5. He is so wise

6. Until it affects one of their family members (and I obviously am NOT advocating/hoping that happens)

these politicians will be forever repeating this claptrap.

9. I disagree

Steve Scalise got shot last year at softball practice and came back with the same gun-friendly demeanor and shit-eating grin he's always had.

11. I mean dead child or spouse...

[Journeyman]

12. No. Not in the least. Scalise was shot in the ball field and he foolishly maintains that . . .

mass shootings are the price we pay for the Second Amendment.

Now, you and I might see such blather as the mark of an idiot with no right to participate in the debate on this topic, but Scalise, unfortunately, is a Number 2 in the House. (And a Number 2 en la cabeza, as well.)

13. I am referring to a dead child or spouse... Scalise is a frigging RW politico. Had he lost a child

it might be different. But, he uses his own survival as a political cudgel against his opponents. In his bizarre mind, it was a "gift". Had he lost something dear to him, it might be different.

7. then let him damn well try to acquire and deploy 55 bombs

maybe we'll have more luck tracking ownership of high explosives than we do with firearms.

i'm willing to give it a try...
