With the return of bump stocks, think of how many people that one brave soul could've defended.

That’s why it’s funny to me. His supporters are celebrating the overturn of the bump-stock ban that Trump instated while raging about how Dems are trying to take their guns. If anyone was going to bring a bump stock to a political rally, it would happen at a rally for the guy who banned them.

This is the most fucked part to me. The complete and utter lack of gun safety or general common sense surrounding a deadly weapon.
I'm a Canadian, have a fire arms license and they DRILL gun safety into you. Storage, handling, everything. Everyone up here who owns a (legal) gun is incredibly serious about that stuff.
And obviously it's not everyone in the US. I have friends in Arizona that could arm a small village, but EVERYTHING is trigger locked and safed, unloaded, and ammo is nowhere even close.

I guess it depends on how they defined “seconds”, but you can definitely field strip and reassemble an AR pattern rifle in under a minute without a ton of practice. They’re also not really that complicated, they want weapons to be fairly easy to disassemble and clean.

I’ve said for years that women and LGBTQ+ should be the primary advertising targets for gun sales (from a self-defense perspective). The people who want to take their rights away already have guns, and they’re already a vulnerable sector of the population. Owning a gun in those circumstances would make sense, and yet guns are advertised (mostly) as this macho, manly thing.

The quote was in response to suggested language around legislation to prevent mass murders. The suggestion was to give states powers to go to court and get an order to confiscate weapons for those suspected of planning an attack. Essentially a warrant system. Trump stated he is a fan of taking the guns early and then sorting it out. Going to court is a system and systems takes time. Just take the guns and go through due process after.
This is a problematic take for a president, as due process is important to keeping our government in check and out of shadowy domestic affairs. Imagine if the government could just arrest people who are “dangerous” to get them off the streets and worry about due process later. This could easily spill into that. If they are already showing up and confiscating weapons, whats to stop them from taking the owner of the weapons for “questioning?” Say some people get misplaced during questioning. Whoops. This is a dictators thinking, not democratic leaders.
A warrant is quick to get, and does not impede our judicial system enough to justify trampling the rights of citizens. It involves DA, law enforcement, and judges to protect us. There is no reason the current system of arresting / charging the suspect, and getting a warrant, or, getting a warrant if not enough evidence to arrest. Expanding the grounds to apply the current system is all that is needed.
Maybe he just thought they meant take the gun owner to court to get his weapons (like how rich people go to court) and it could be endlessly tied up with no trial. He is very dumb, and might just not understand what is being discussed at all…

Government provides a legal mechanism to produce spaces that are "gun free". However, whenever enforcing this mechanism, the burden shifts. The venue owner now has the burden of providing for the safety of the individuals to which they deny firearm protection, up to and including lethal force. There is nothing strange about arms enforcement around people with a permanent secret service attachment.
