    Thumbs up Trump spurns Dems on universal background checks

    President Donald Trump will not consider the House-passed universal background checks bill as part of his proposed gun package, according to a source familiar with the conversation on guns.

    Trump’s position on the House-passed bill is not exactly a surprise. The White House issued a veto threat against the bill in February.

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) have called on Trump repeatedly to bring up the House-passed universal background checks bill. Over the weekend, Pelosi and Schumer issued a statement following a phone call with Trump that anything other than the House-passed bill “will not get the job done.”

    Schumer reiterated his calls Monday for the White House to back the House proposal.

    Trump in NM just said "I will never take away your sacred right to keep and bear arms"

    Amen.

    Exactly. We are nowhere near out of the woods yet.

    McConnell and Trump still think we have to "do something" and "doing something" to them means taking away some amount of our Constitutional rights.

    Still waiting for Trump to end that 8-year assault on our 2nd Amendment rights. The only *something* I support is a repeal of gun free zones and the enactment of National Constitutional Carry which should be an obvious interpretation of incorporating the 14th Amendment. Other than that, keep the change. We don't need it.

    That sums up my thoughts on the matter. I'll wait and see. One thing is certain, the President can only infringe on Constitutional rights if RINOs in the Senate infringe first. The House was a lost cause from the start.

    We could be slaughtering those pumpkins with guns equipped with bump stocks except that... well... the president took away your sacred right to keep and bear arms - but just the "plastic, range toys" (for now), so that's OK.

    Well, they aren't after da crazies, their after their opposition. Gun control is ALWAYS about the opposition
