President Trump urges ban on gun devices?
What a joke. Number 45 said he signed a memo directing the U.S. Justice Department to propose regulations to ban all devices like the rapid-fire bump stocks.
Last week, he had a listening session with Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students and others, which was just another Trump “photo opportunity.”
President Trump is again kicking the can down the road, like DACA, to find time so he can blame someone else for his failure.
If he was incensed over the killings and serious about doing something, he would have initiated and signed at least two executive orders — one banning AR-15s and bump stocks and another mandating background checks. He then would have instructed his Republican Congress to develop the legislation within X-number of months.
President Trump, his fake news supporters and FOX News are betting the student rallies and school walkouts will go away in a few weeks.
Nothing positive will be done by number 45 and this current Congress. The almighty dollar wins again.
