Trump says he still considering "silencer "ban on Piers Morgan

Ya think? Politicians barely care what we think now; why would they give two shits once we're completely disarmed? Not that we sheep are going to start another revolution, but at least they have to worry a little about a random 2A whacko coming for them.

I'm not young, but it pisses me off to see older members of a gun forum laughing about the potential of losing a few silly gun rights. Guess they had their fun so screw future generations? Hard to understand.

Agreed.

It's more like you being on a ship that has a few leaks and you are so worried and obsessed with those leaks you don't see the rocks your about to run into and the whole ship goes down.

Focus on the things we need to do to keep the ship afloat and not wrecking on the rocks stop worrying about the tiny leaks. People voting for guys like Biden or Buttplug etc... is going to put us on the rocks. There are no candidates out there that aren't looking to turn us into the next New Zealand socialist state with door to door searches for banned weapons whether they be democrat or Republican.

The difference in mindset between offense and defense. The best offense is a strong defense.

We need to educate. We need to vote. We need to hold accountable. We have to act.

The term stupid is a blanket statement that covers a whole host of inequities and character flaws.

Well an argument can be made that the 2A upholds all the other rights, and I firmly believe that. However, I don't think Trump will actually DO anything to reduce our rights. He may say some stupid stuff, but I doubt he will actually do anything. Yes, I may be wrong, but I think it is a good bet.

On my phone so I can't bold your part about him not "doing" anything to "reduce" our rights, but go ahead and try buying a bump stock today, or next week, and let me know how that pans out.

Single issue voters are hilarious.

Low information voters are even funnier...

Single issue voters are hilarious.

If the issue is gun control, then the issue is freedom itself.

Long after Trump is gone, his judges will be our wall against gun control.

I'm not happy that he's not a pure 2A defender. He's not Ted Cruz which we all knew or should have known. With that said, he's the best game in town regardless of your anger. You can show him your anger by not voting for him or voting for his opposition. Ultimately, such a move will only hurt you because there will likely be a time again like Obama's first two years where the Dems hold everything. They won't waste that opportunity again worrying about healthcare. They'll enact semi-auto bans, magazine restrictions, gun buy-backs etc.

My hope is that his sons bring some understanding to his knee-jerk reaction.

Unfortunately, there is a storm brewing that I think will result in a Dem sweep of House, Senate and POTUS. The NRA is weak and bleeding thanks to a combination of mismanagement and a disinformation campaign. Trump, for all of his 2A talk doesn't really understand the 2A. He's a populist through and through and those that need purity in their candidate are abandoning him, focusing on his missteps instead of his defense of semi-auto rifles. The media had done an excellent job of poisoning his presidency by refusing to acknowledge his accomplishments.

It's OK to be mad at Trump. It's not going to be OK if you let that anger help Biden, Sanders or Harris become the next POTUS. That's nothing more than a short-sighted tantrum.

Ah, the fear mongering. "Any vote not for trump is a vote for the enemies" that's about bullshit and the same reason we cant get any serious candidates, or libertarians.

I still don't understand why discussing what he said is "a vote for Bernie".

It's like some self-imposed head in the sand behavior - "Oh crap, he said something that violates my core beliefs - I'll put my fingers in my ears and la-la-la-la I can't HEAR you!"
