Republicans killed the first assault weapons ban, and the one proposed after Sandy Hook.
No gun control would have saved the 17 lives that he thinks about and prays for, anyway.
Trump's just aping the same talking points we've heard since Valentines Day. He's not even original. He's the opposite of a leader, and pretty much an all around piece of shite.

You are off on multiple levels.

First, when you say Dems "couldn't accomplish" gun control, they had a filibuster-proof majority. So it wasn't an issue of "couldn't", it was one of "didn't". They literally decided not to.

Secondly, Trump is a 2A advocate. He seems comfortable with his position, with little interest in caving to Dem whining about gun control. He's simply (appropriately) pointing out their hypocrisy.

Best President in my lifetime. Born in '66. Reagan awoke me. Trump has gone above and beyond so far. I finally have hope which has been absent for awhile

I thought Obama tried to get some pretty significant legislation through after Sandy Hook


Sandy Hook was 2012, Dems had the House, Senate, and White House 2008-2009. He's calling them out because they actually did nothing when they could and only make noise when there's a tragedy to pimp.

They had a majority and Obama tried to....However, Dems from more conservative states knew their re-election chances would be dead had they voted for Obama's legislation. Trump should have emphasized that Dems themselves voted against any further restrictions.

It was bad form when Obama spent 8 years blaming George Bush for everything under the sun.

This is equally bad form.

Democrats had a super majority under Obama. There was zero legislation that the republicans could have stopped.

Not after Sandy Hook, which was the context of the post I was replying to.

...or gay marriage. They wouldn't pass that either.

SCOTUS brought that to the country.

Then he should do something then. Show us how weak and ineffective democrats are by getting it all done now.
