You’ve got to let the police do their jobs, number one. Number two, you have to do a policy of stop and frisk. When you see a guy coming down the street and you can — the police know every one of them. They know their middle name. They know where they live. They know every one of them, the local police, and they’re great.

You got to let them do their job, stop and frisk, and take their gun away. You’ve got to do it. If somebody has because they have all these guns — you know, it’s very interesting, the toughest gun law, the toughest, by far, in the whole United States is in Chicago, and yet it’s the most — it’s —

Let all your Republican 2Aer friends and family know.

      It wouldn’t be the first time. Like when Black Panthers were enjoying their 2nd Amendment rights. All of a sudden Republicans jumped on gun control.

          Good point. A ruling rolled back while the Democrats are ruling (albeit by the Supreme Court which heavily weights towards Republican).

          The NRA must receive its blood sacrifice (and occasional payment from Russia).

      Funny how a few weeks ago he was asskissing the NRA and gun community

      Like anything with him, when the obvious happened now he’ll suddenly change his mind… and probably start saying something about Mexicans and “crooked Biden,” isn’t tough on crime which is why he got shot, etc

      No, obviously not the guns of real people, just the ones who get stopped and frisked by the police. Y’know… the ones you can tell are evil because they’re… y’know, wink wink nudge nudge “urban”.

      Yeah, he’s pretty clearly saying he wants police to selectively take guns from those they think are problem starters. Though it wouldn’t surprise me if he wants that group to include categories his wannabe shooter would have fit in, which probably will end up including many people he relies on for support.

    So he’s calling for en mass racial profiling for a gun round up essentially only in Chicago. Jfc. This man is deranged. Bruh this would never happen.

    Furthermore, can this man not put a sentence together? Like at all?

    Imagine him trying to order something at McDonald’s drive through. He’d be like " I’d like a big Mac, great burger, excelle… ya know, the great people of Texas, their cattle, best cattle and let me tell you… also an apple pie, have, have you ever had an apple from Nebraska? Best appl… Anyway so I’m talking to the mayor of Lincoln, Lincoln Nebraska and he says, he says Mr president that apple this apple it’s for our troops and the troops are, it’s like I tell my kids… and on and on he goes until the drive through employee commits suicide via dipping head in deep fryer

    Every time I read a quote from this idiot it hurts my brain. I could go on about how stop and frisk is a horrible, racist policy that is a violation of basic rights, but just reading anything he says is painful. His speech is so jarring, erratic, and logically flawed. I’ve listened to average second graders express their thoughts more eloquently than this piece of garbage.

      My niece was 2 years old when she said “Uncle, I’m scared of the dark, but juice is in there.”

      And she wanted one of those capri-sun juice packs. I told her there’s nothing to be scared of in the garage. She can leave the door open so she can see what she’s doing, but she should get the juice herself.

      I expected to have to turn on the light, and maybe even get the juice for her, but I wanted to see how long until she asked for help.

      Well, she was still scared, but she walked all the way in, picked up 2 juice packs, and came back inside.

      I asked what the 2nd juice pack was for. She said “I got one for you!”

      It was the proudest I’d ever been as an uncle. I taught her to face her fears, and in doing so she showed that even when scared she still thinks of others.

      Which is more than I can say for trump and his way of thinking. He would have made the story into some self serving story where he battles a monster in the dark, and slayed a dragon, and everybody loves him. Meanwhile what actually happened is he got some underling to bring him the juice because he was too scared.

      Whereas my neice faced her fear, overcame it, and thought of others while doing it. THATS real bravery! And more human growth than trump has ever displayed. Plus I actually understood what she was trying to convay. They may have been short sentences, but they were complete sentences. Plus they didn’t drift off halfway into some racist rant. Mostly because she isn’t racist and is raised better than that.

      Oh yeah it’s going to make him real popular with the second amendment people. LoL

      I think it’ll be hilarious if Kamala Harris released a statement saying that unlike Trump she will never take your guns away. 🤣

        They have turned their brains off, if they were ever on in the first place. Back when I was on reddit I was arguing with so-called “libertarians” who claimed Donald would protect their gun rights. Of course I was banned because they are actually Repubs cosplaying as libertarians. Banning me was a violation of the NAP, BTW.

        98% of them are completely unaware of this or know he’s only go after the other people and never theirs

        I think it’ll be hilarious if Kamala Harris released a statement saying that unlike Trump she will never take your guns away.

        While that would be a nice sting to the other side, that would alienate part of her base who are all for gun laws.

          You can be pro gun law and still say “We aren’t going to take your guns.” Gun laws don’t prevent gun ownership and don’t enable confiscation of guns from lawful owners. They simply ensure that mentally unstable people or those with criminal backgrounds cannot buy one legally.

    stop and frisk was awful but regular Republican voters don’t remember it because they’ve never lived in a city. most of what these idiots talk about has nothing to do with them at all

      Regular republican voters dont remember it cause they were never a target for stop and frisk, because the melanin content in their skin isnt typically high enough to trigger cops.

    Like when we see a convicted felon coming down the street and we know his middle name is “John” and he lives in Palm Beach?

    The media and the people often do gymnastics to “translate trump” and interpret his dog whistle gibberish… STOP.

    Don’t read into this, read it on it’s face and report it out to whoever - “trump wants to take your guns. Period.”

    Its black and white , right from his weird mouth with the “old man foam” frothing up on the sides.

    First they came for the imaginary guns of imaginary black criminals, and I said nothing… Because I was also imagining their weapons and crimes and hiding in my little baby coward bunker of a home trying to buy bulletproof pants online that would make people think that maybe I might not have a tiny, weird penis…

    Pretty sure this was on the topic of gun control, he said “take their guns away and go through due process later” but his 2Aer followers don’t remember that.

    TRUMP: First of all, you — I know the people in Chicago. I know the police, because I built the building there. I spent a lot of time — the building, it was a — it’s a great building, a really great building.

    How are serious people, seriously voting for this guy again?
