Broken Record Bullshit
After the Parkland, Florida shooting back in February, President Trump told the country that he would push for stricter background checks and raising the minimum age for buying an assault weapon to 21. He went so far as to tell Senator Feinstein to include a ban on assault rifles in her proposal as well. He also said he favored taking guns away from potentially dangerous people without due process.
While Florida state enacted some new gun safety/control measures following the Parkland school massacre, Trump did zero at the federal level. Earlier this month, in fact, he spoke at an NRA conference and spewed the stale "gun grabbers wanna take away your second amendment rights, but Trump will never take your guns away" and paranoid rhetoric that feeds the right wing and is music to his extremist base's ears.
With at least 10 people dead in today's high school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas, Trump is once again promising to take action. Sure thing. By next week, he'll likely be saying something completely opposite to please HIS voters again.
