Trump Predicts "Meaningful" Background Checks In The Wake Of Mass Shootings | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

69 comments

  1. Meaningful background checks: are you crazy, or are you going to commit any mass shootings?
    “Nope “
    you’re good.

    1. Soon we will have to address the hatred within for soon technically will so advanced that we will only have to think something and your weapon will go off . If we don’t do something then even life itself we be invein !

    1. @Jay Hille Amnesty is part of the law as well so keep that in mind. If you want to stop illegals, you audit businesses and punish them for hiring not only illegals but people working under the table. The illegals will leave or apply for citizenship, which at the end should both be the goal.

    2. @Flyn Bryan Yeah, which is why it should be more difficult for them to get things that dial that up to 11.

  2. We all witmess hate crime murder in pn our local news daily. its often classified as gang violence or robbery .These rarly ever make mainstream news unless it is a white memtally disturbed shooter.

  3. Many people try to make this shooting Trump’s fault but should we be talking about Antifa?

    1. D P actually it was at a Trumptarian Society Cult rally where this joke of a president asked his supporters” what do you do with all these people running to our border” and one of the pukes yelled out ” shoot em” and all the other pukes laughed and cheered for that. Normal people don’t have that kind of sickening mentality.

    2. @A No….only if they CROSS our border, and don’t go back when ordered to by the border patrol….should they be fired upon. A warning shot first of course, and if they don’t stop…well~

  4. From our past, present and what it looks to be our future I can garantee this if someone wants a gun they will find it regardless.

    1. @Ahmad Abdallah except countries that ban them……the shear idiocy of the right wing C student LOLZ

    2. @MIchael Rigby So you’re saying it’s impossible for someone to smuggle in a weapon to one of those countries?

    3. Space Hitler Not impossible but unlikely. America has more mass shootings and gun deaths in one year than several other countries ever had.

    1. @Alexander Canella and lawful citizens, who sell to others who might not otherwise pass a background check.

  5. “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” ~ Benjamin Franklin

    1. If America survives that long. Climate change will get us all. People and animals. We have lost gardening skills and people will die.

  6. so let me get this straight the killers broke a dozen laws and the solution is make more laws? so they can break one more?

    1. this president is on vacation far less than most. There are new videos and photos of him almost every day. And he’s getting more done than most.

  7. Lol now gun control is an issue due to hysteria from msm , how many people have been shot in Chicago alone so far this year over 300 , oh ya that does not count it serves no political agenda

    1. Neka Nostalgia my friend, is it disgusting for those who like high performance motor vehicles? Carjacking rates where i live in VA are at an all time high, and its mainly teens targeting high performance vehicles. There is NO reason to have a car that can easily go 150mph when the speed limit is 65. Do we get rid of a vehicle that has a high potential for abuse because someone steals it, joy rides and kills someone (happens all the time here.)

    2. Neka Nostalgia my friend, Most of the cars are stolen at night with either keys left in the car or a flathead screw driver to break the ignition column. People even leave their cars running. Just last week here a woman was hit and killed by a 14 year old fleeing in a stolen car that was left running (makes 10 people killed by stolen vehicles in my county alone). Do we make it a felony to keep your car running in winter? Felony to leave your keys in the car? Felony to own a car prior to 2005? Please advise.

    3. @Dan Gannon there are people with ill intentions everywhere who would be dumb enough to leave their car running in California! That is on the people who actually believe they can do things like that in 2019. You can keep making excuses but statistics even though all the statistics are not report it is still holds weight so this gun issue. You’re deflecting totally from the topic at hand this has nothing to do with his going on with these white extremists in America. I’m not disputing that crime doesn’t exist any and everywhere but there is a problem at hand. You guys just don’t want to acknowledge that.

    1. @Dan Wruck here’s a fact: the new military platform rifles in US troop hands fire 3 shot bursts….that is not a ‘machine gun’,it is a semi-auto…dummy.

    2. @MIchael Rigby A three round burst is not semi-auto. Semi-auto guns need to have a trigger pull for each bullet.

  8. The media needs to stop giving Trump so much live coverage, this assist in fueling his aggressive and nonsympathic behavior.

  9. While going through difficult political events, Jacques Chirac made the following remark: “Annoyances always fly in squadrons”.
    In one of the chapters of a book called « The Funerals of the Grande Meme », Gabriel Garcia Marquez remarked: “Misfortunes are like snails: they are slow to come but they always come”.

    This bring me to say : The Cretin of the White House would do well to take those lines into account if he pretends to keep flying at reasonable altitude or if he wants to pretend not to be crushed under the wheels of History.

    1. @pyronac1 Maybe I shouldn’t say no civilian because there are serious gun collectors/advocates who would never commit such a crime. But I agree with at least making it harder for average joe’s to get their hands on high capacity magazines. For example, there’s people in Nevada who own old military cannons and gatling guns and they shoot them in the desert. In order to own them though, there’s a lot of red tape, licenses, fees, and so forth to prove you’re trustworthy to own these military weapons. You really have to prove yourself. I think they should at least do the same with high capacity magazines. Yes I agree these mass shooters were crazy, but they shouldn’t have been able to purchase these military weapons and high capacity mags so easily.

    2. @Shrimpin Bidness Stricter gun laws won’t help, a slow long term solution at best. Firstly, do you know how many weapons of mass murder are on the streets? If Assault weapons were banned today, it would take at least 10 years for them to be totally removed from the streets. I know you never said to remove them but still.

      Second, it isn’t that hard to illegally obtain a gun, in about 1/4 mass shootings guns are obtained illegally. And guns aren’t the only weapons that can be used in mass murder, look at the convict who just got out and stabbed 4 people to death.

    1. Alan, I see the left is still the only one inciting violence on those who they disagree with. Well done Alan Wayne, your the type of person that we will take the right own firearms from.
