President Trump: We Won’t Sacrifice Gun Rights to ‘Slippery Slope’President Trump suggested Democrats have given up any defense of the Second Amendment and pledged that he will not allow Americans’ gun rights to be swept away on the “slippery slope” of gun control. Trump made the comments while speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday. He said, “We have very, very strong background checks right now. But we have, sort of, missing areas and areas that don’t complete the whole circle. And we’re looking at different things.” He added, “And I have to tell you that it is a mental problem. And I’ve said it a hundred times: It’s not the gun that pulls the trigger; it’s the person that pulls the trigger. These are sick people, and it is also that kind of a problem.” Trump was then asked point blank if he wanted to see Senate passage of gun control bills passed in the Democrat-controlled House. He responded: Well, I’m not going to get into that. But we are in very meaningful discussions with the Democrats. And I think the Republicans are very unified. We are very strong on our Second Amendment. The Democrats are not strong at all on the Second Amendment. I would say they’re weak on the Second Amendment, and we have to be careful of that. He observed: The Democrats would, I believe — I think they’d give up the Second Amendment. And the people that — a lot of the people that put me where I am are strong believers in the Second Amendment — and I am, also. And we have to be very careful about that. You know, they call it the “slippery slope,” and all of the sudden, everything gets taken away. We’re not going to let that happen. Breitbart News reported that Trump used weekend comments to shift away from background checks. Politico reported that Trump was asked about the background check gun control push and he said, “I’m not saying anything. I’m saying Congress is going to be reporting back to me with ideas. And they’ll come in from Democrats and Republicans. And I’ll look at it very strongly. But just remember, we already have a lot of background checks.” Source: https://www.breitbart.com/politics/...ont-sacrifice-gun-rights-slippery-slope/

As long as the economy doesn't implode before the next election he might win again.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I hope he means it. It seems he says whatever the last person he talked to wants him to say.

I think someone made him realize he has no chance of reelection if he comes hard on the 2nd. I seen today where he spoke with ole Wayne at the NRA too. Time will tell I guess.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

It's what the Left was hoping for they will beat this dead horse until the election with their spin added to it!
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

It has to be a hard row to hoe, being the President and Commander in Chief. In this situation it is kind of dammed if ya do and dammed if ya don't. I can only hope he don't and still gets re-elected. Can you folks imagine where we would be if Hildebeast was our president?
Zim The body count would be much higher just from defense.

If the polls show being pro gun might cost him his reelection, he'll whistle a different tune. and we all know we should willingly give up our God-given Rights because the polls say so... take a "hate speech" poll on any college campus and say goodbye to your First Amendment Rights. (that's okay, though...it'll make you FEEL better)
