Background checks and increase age to own a gun.

It's all just a sop to toss to his political opponents. Still won't change the fact that government has never gotten the background checks already on the books to work. It also won't change the fact that anyone who really wants to can get a gun, regardless of age or criminal history.
 
If a bad guy wants a gun he will not have to get one legally, he can get it by word of mouth in any state.
 
I think he is deflecting the Liberals.

He is saying "meaningful" background checks. That is much different than UBC or anything else the filthy Liberals would want. It is code for "we will look into something for the crazies but leave the gun owners alone".

Trump is too smart to piss off his base with stupid gun control laws. It is not like the supporters of RTKABA will vote for Democrats but they won't have the enthusiasm for Trump. He knows that could be disastrous in close swing states.
 
seems to me that my Predictions of WOE for the coming Generation of young people are coming true at least as far as Gun Rights and other traditional ways like the expunging of records for minors are concerned eh .
 
Trump went on air this morning promoting background checks, increasing the age of gun ownership, and getting rid of the policy that expunges the records of minors when they turn 18.

Thoughts?

Trump: Congress discussing 'meaningful' gun background checks, NRA will have input

Art of the Deal. Start out with extreme wide positions then narrow them down once you get people in the room. Age change, thats possible. Checks? We already have them. Records? You cannot take away a constitutional right from a citizen just because he did something dumb as a kid.

Mixed bag.

Every generation of Americans has lost more freedoms than the previous generations due to the encroachment of big government. It is a shame because once a Liberty is lost it will never be restored.

When the people lose the right to keep and bear arms then our country is lost. We will be no better than any other shithole nanny state in the world.
 
Cant wait :)

A big majority in this country support background checks.

The funny part is the politicians can all yammer to the lame stream media and when it comes to election time whatever minute changes are made to the gun laws it will not get Conservatives to vote for a Democrat.

The threat of Socialism will have the masses out voting for Trump. They know the best defense against the Socialists/Communist is another strong supporter of 2nd amendment rights seated on the SCOTUS.

Haha, ok you can translate it that way, he obviously hedged the statement and didn’t provide any details. How about raising the age from 18 to 21 or 25 and not expunging records. Do you support those ideas? No code there

Such measures increase the age one must be to purchase a gun, not to own or possess a gun.

And the only ‘meaningful’ background checks are those which are universal, rendering void the provision in Federal law that allows intrastate firearms transactions between residents of the same state absent a background check.

Ok, so what’s this middle ground he is looking to get to? And who is he negotiating with?
