Are we About to be Betrayed?

“Look, we have a tragedy … and we’ll be talking about gun laws as time goes on,” Trump said, after praising police officers for doing “an incredible job” in response to the shooting.

​He did not indicate what aspects of gun legislation were open to discussion.

Look, let's face it. These things play out the same way every time. Shooting happens. The gun grabbers start slinging words before the shooting is even over. Memes start flying like they're going to save us all. And everyone on both sides start yelling the same talking points back and forth. We all know the arguments and the come backs to them from both sides. So I'm not going to go into all of those and why gun control won't work and hasn't in the past. 

What I will say is this. If Trump is taking a page from Hillary, he needs to reconsider. She lost for a reason. And considering one of her major platforms was strong gun control, he really needs to look into that and think hard. 

The guns are already here. They exist. Bans won't change that. The border is not secure, and you can bet your ass the cartels and everyone else are cheering for American gun control because their black market over the border is going to surge. Gun grabbers who argue that Chicago is how it is because the rest of the country didn't fall into lockstep should recognize that. Yeah, the guns in Chicago may be coming from out of state. A gun ban in the USA will cause guns to come up from Mexico and other countries willing to use their border. And guess what? You can't trace those! 

I don't want anyone to be surprised if there is a shift here. The 2nd Amendment is a deal breaker for me. I have a few deal breaker issues and I abandoned my political party over one of them. 

Yes, I am going to give Trump the benefit of the doubt and hear him out, hoping he doesn't go Hillary on us. But Trump desperately wants to be Reagan. Reagan openly and enthusiastically supported the Brady Bill.

If Trump starts talking gun or magazine bans, his chances at re-election in 2020 are not good. And if people do vote for him at that point, shame on them. He should get primaried out, that would be the best way, because if he isn't, there will be a crazy dem in the White House in 2020. And it could spread further than that. So far there's no repeal of Obamacare, no wall, and possible gun control. Gee, it's like we elected Hillary. 

As I said, I'll hear him out since there was no specifics mentioned. But it isn't looking good. Gun control will cut my support for Trump. Just be aware, there will be a shift. I won't be able to support him anymore, and will treat him the way I treated Obama. And I will not vote for him in 2020. Period. If you can't handle that, I understand. But I must support my beliefs and my Constitution before any man or woman. I am not above writing my dog in for political office. I wrote her in for governor of my state in the last election.
