re: Our President has called out Democrats on Gun Control

The democrats tried (and failed miserably) in 2013 after Sandy Hook because the NRA is far more powerful than either major political party.
The bottom line is the democrats will NEVER outmobilize the gun lobby at the polls and it's unlikely you'll ever get enough congressmen/women to oppose it to pass anything substantial. You want to keep your seat, you stay in line.
It's why all this handwringing over gun control by the board is silly. It's effectively an impossibility.

The tweet suggests he’s going to show how much more effective he is than Democrats. I’m all for the challenge. Get it going.

If Obama couldn't get it done in the wake of Sandy Hook when emotions were at an all time high and with a Democratic House and Senate, it will never get done.
As horrible as these instances are, the people really don't want the 2nd infringed

Trump could care less. His ego is the size of Texas. he will stroke it during this tragedy. Too bad his brain is the size of a peanut.

The tweet suggests that the Dems are just posturing on this issue because they're supposed to be the party of gun control but didn't do anything about gun control the last time they were in control of everything.

Well he can show the country that GOP is not controlled by the gun lobby and do something about it.

So the Dems are controlled by the gun lobby? They didn't get shite done when they had control.

Both sides are the same. It's easier doing business when the other side is in charge or the majority. All you have to do is sit back and scream to rile up the base. Politicians are the curse on this country.

You might not like it but that doesn't make it any less true and you know it.

This will change. These mass shootings are going to increase. They ready have. Wasn’t that long ago when you had Vegas. Every time one happens it errordes support from the anti gun control argument. Eventually that support is gonna swing the other way.
