Trump historical wanted to take guns. He only changed his position to gain support
rollingstone on
***From Rolling Stone:***
Trump decrying Pretti for carrying a gun on Tuesday is also at odds with his longstanding, full-throated support for the Second Amendment. The president has sided with the gun industry and opposed regulation whenever possible, including in the wake of mass shooting events. He [addressed](https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/donald-trump-speech-nra-convention-1360038/) the National Rifle Association’s annual conference in Houston in 2022 just days after a gunman killed 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, a few hundred miles away. Trump blamed school administrators, not guns, for school shootings, and did a little dance for the audience after he finished speaking.

You need to understand what he means when he says “you”. More classic in group/out group thinking from the fascist-in-chief

People – after 10 years of this monster you all act like he wasn’t going to change positions to justify anything he does.
The guy is a monster and the only solution is to impeach/remove/indict and imprison.

That’s odd. The conservative sub doesn’t seem to have a single post about this. I wonder why they don’t want talk about it. I guess when your life revolves around sucking fascist dick, you can forgive if you get pissed on a little.

He can’t have a gun because he is a felon. A person with a valid firearms permit certainly can.

Trump was only pro-guns to win votes. The same goes for pretty much everything else he says. It’s hilarious to watch MAGA now say you shouldn’t be carrying guns around.

Yeah.
That’s dictator speak.

What the last year has shown is that MAGA doesn’t actually stand for anything, other than what Trump says RIGHT NOW.
I’m watching the Trump sub seriously argue that if you carry a gun (2A) at a protest (1A) you deserve to be killed by the government.
Before that I’ve been watching them go from “release the files” to “protect the pedophiles” the second they knew Trump needed to cover up his crimes.
If ever there was doubt it was a cult, that has evaporated.

This from the same guy who ordered the metal detectors taken down on January 6th.

Well MAGA voters who also support 2A, looks like your messiah just in fact shit all over the 2A…
Enjoying that winning yet?

It’s like a social experiment for how much you have to humiliate yourself to keep supporting Trump.

He means liberals. You can’t have a gun if you’re a liberal.

The right wing has no principles. Just the central tenet of hypocrisy. It’s absolutely maddening. They made the 2nd amendment their entire personality. And now it just doesn’t exist.

Everything they accuse the other side of doing, they do themselves.

Trump has never been weaker. We can get him removed by impeachment if we work hard enough.

I guess now you can have guns if the govt says you can. I remember being lectured by 2A fanatics that the right to own guns was to protect us from govt attack. My how times have changed.
Video today of a ICE officer threatening to kill somebody if they dared to raise their voice. Out of the gate the MAGA crowd abandons the first two constitutional rights without so much as a whimper. Good little ….zi’s

Odd. He didn’t used to care about protesters having guns
Funny how Diaper Don had no problem with Proud Boys bringing guns to his Jan. 6th rally.

This is the same man who infamously said “take the guns first, due process later.”
This is now twice he’s told the American people outwardly and with no ambiguity that he doesn’t believe in the second amendment.
If you call yourself MAGA and you still support this man because you believe he will protect your gun rights, you’re even dumber than you look.

Nothing he’s noted for has any substance whatsoever. He compromises people with their connections and threats to what they value.

I’d love to hear Charlie Kirk’s reaction to this. Alas, due to gun laws being what they are, Charlie’s unavailable.

It doesn’t matter. Conservatives don’t see this news in their networks so they just say he never said that. For those who did see the clip, they just say he was just joking or trolling the libs

He must be projecting.
HE can’t have a gun. He’s a convicted felon.
The rest of us can.

Put it on the list of things Trump has said and done that would have lead to calls for either a retraction or removal of ANY other president that said it.

People do not believe me when I tell them gun ownership is pretty liberal despite what the government tells you.

This is the pivot point. You NEED a way to defend yourself from this government. They are coming for your only protection. This should terrify even non gun owners

Well he sure is setting things up for some grand scheme to cancel any future elections isn’t he.
